When traveling to the States, get yourself some travelers cheques.
Bring um on over and the first thing you do when you arrive is to open an American Bank account which you deposit all those handy travelers cheques into.
Never, ever get a travelwallet from Standard Bank.
They sold it to me saying that it would be the cheapest and most convenient way for me to access my money, but they lied. Every single time you draw money you get charged between $2 - $4, even if you end up not drawing any money. Then, when you least expect it, money disappears out of your account and you realise they've charged you for transactions you never made. Then, after you resolve this issue with them, THEY DO IT AGAIN. Only this time they say that it will take 40 days for them to figure out what went wrong.
I might be home sooner than you think people.
