Flew to Aruba for our 2 week vacation. Checked & double checked everything before we left. Passports, computer, books, snorkel gear, money, Travelers Checks...............oops, forgot the TC's. Spent 2 hours on Skype with AMEX in Phillipines reporting TC's as lost. We thought we had left them in CLT airport lounge. Turns out, they were at home. We took money, but forgot the TC's. Worst part was figuring out how to get the money Amex had wired. Main Post Office in Aruba is not exactly "user friendly." Took 4 hours to get the money after it had been wired. Between no parking spaces & long lines, only to find out we had filled out the wrong form (we filled out sending money instead of receiving money), then getting right form & having to stand in line again, we finally got our money. No mercy from anyone in the line, since we had already waited once, and who could blame them? Dumb American tourists.
