we have used various combanations over the years, only T/C, cash and T/C and visa, T/C and cash. To be honest we have found that it is so much easier to just use cash and take a credit card for last minute emergancies if needed. We usually change the cash in our hotel and have never been tricked. The rate may be ever so slightly lower but at least you can sort it out in your money bag/purse with out worrying if some is going under the table. If you use T/C you have to have your passport which is a real pain as it means that you then have to take it back to your safe or carry it with you for the day. We just put the cash in a few envelopes and leave them either in the in room safe or in the safety deposit box at the hotel and have never had any problems.
