Well, after nine years of working, my keep-slack-in-checking-account method of budget keeping finally bit me. Most of my credit card charges I made in Canada were overdrawn, seven in total. Thus, my trip cost me $192 more than I thought it would, in bank fees.

Sadly, if I'd only checked, I would have been able to use that emergency credit card that I've never used. It would all have been paid off by today.

Fortunately, my direct-deposit came in on Friday, but what I have is all I'm left with until the day after Thanksgiving.

It's quite likely that if you never use a credit card and then suddenly use it in a foreign country, the bank will lock it down and you'll be forced to use cash, anyway.
