back into travellers checques

One of the major frustrations during the walkabout was international banking and the battle to access our own money. Having learned from a prior jaunt to tanzania that lords visa and master do not like random charges from east africa, we were very responsible and alerted our banks and credit peeps that we would be traveling for several months and provided our itinerary. Nonetheless, things came to screeching halt in Bodrum turkey. Admittedly, we did each lose a bank card early on, but we were able to contact the right folks and cancel the plastic. However, at some point, the combination of lost cards, the one way ticket, the cash advances, the absence of typical tourist financial activity became too much, and the money matrix shut us down. "it's for your own security," the money matrix said. We said "how secure can we be if we have no money for food and lodging?" Then our phone card probably ran out of Euros. We ripped through our US dollar cash reserves.
