I've also had nothing but good experiences with the Schwab credit card. The website isn't the best organized of the credit card websites I've used, but the card itself works great.
Schwab's High Yield Investor Checking account is also excellent for overseas ATM use. If you don't have time to get one before your trip, however, see the list of accounts on
the wiki/FAQ for this thread to see which of your existing accounts has the best terms for overseas ATM withdrawals.
