Narrator: Once upon a time, there were two lovebirds, who had carefully saved their money for a very special trip. A second honeymoon in fact, but when they weren't looking, an itinerant pickpocket swiped their entire bankroll and sneaked off with it. Money gone, vacation ruined. The boy lovebird was so chagrined, he could have kicked himself. And the girl lovebird was only too happy to oblige. The moral? Never carry more cash than you can afford to lose. All wise birds carry American Express travelers checks instead of cash. If they're lost or stolen, you get an immediate refund. Whenever you travel, carry your money in American Express travelers checks.
