The current discussion of credit cards to carry while traveling
has got me thinking about which vehicle I should use to pay for
my transactions on my upcoming vacation.  This summer I will be
visiting the South Pacific:  Fiji, New Zealand and Tahiti.  In
Fiji and Tahiti I have reservations at resort-class hotels and
will need pay only for food and souvenirs.  I will be motoring
through New Zealand, and will need to pay for gasoline, food
and hotels.

I would prefer, of course, to carry as little cash as possible.
Should I carry traveller's checks, or might one of my credit
cards be accepted so widely that I can live off it alone?
