Travelers Cheques
We are travelling to Italy and I would like to know which is the recommended type of Travelers cheques to purchase that is,
Travelers cheques in US Funds and convert them as required in Italy
or
Travelers cheques in Euros.

I'm with brookwood on that one. I guess the only exception would be if you were expecting a currency fluctuation not in your favour - in which case I'd be purchasing the cheques in the foreign currency.

I'm sure she meant ATM. This is what most travelers are using these days. Some people take a few traveler's checks with them for emergency situations (broken ATM, etc.), but we gave up on using them at all some time ago.
We use our debit card rather than a credit card, as most banks have added high percentage rates for ATM use.
