re traveling, something else people need to consider is foreign transaction fees on their payments, right? And afaik getting a gift card for payment still isn't an option in the US.
This is why I don't do the traveling, even though there's some books I'd really like to get that aren't available in the US. It just seems too complicated, with too many little things to remember / discover too late you didn't know about. They may all be covered in this thread somewhere, but the info is scattered across several hundred pages.
