Second the cash is king, Ian.

I’ve found a few airports that don’t take cards, but equally I’ve found a few that will give you a discount if you pay with cash. It might only be 2% or such, but every little bit that keeps the cash in the airports and out of financial companies is good

I would add bring cash. Being from a fairly urban area, I’ve been shocked how many places don’t take credit cards. This is true of airport restaurants and other nearby businesses. And I usually don’t carry cash. Needless to say I’ve gone hungry a few times.

I just submitted an article for our news letter with the same moral.
A buddy and I were returning from a trip from Houston to Little Rock in January. The weather was bad the day before and the day of our planned departure. We stayed one extra night in Houston. The next day, the weather never quite responded as promised. But it looked pretty good. We take-off. It was not good enough. Had to divert to Nacogdoches, TX., and get a new plan. The plan, stay the night in Nacogdoches, TX.
We arrived in Little Rock two days behind schedule. It was good to have a little room left in “The Plastic Piggy Bank.”
