Ah, well, I had a twist in my saga. First, Currency Exchange can't take Cdn travellers checks, since no Cdn banks take them. But even more than that, she noticed that the darn things were so old, they were first signed by me in my maiden name. I've been married for 23 years. So... I'm not even sure how I'd cash them at an American bank or retailer, since you have to show ID to cash them. I'll be calling AmEx tomorrow, I think. I'm going to check if there's some type of card they can give me, otherwise, I might just have to claim them and have them cashed into CAD.
