Here are my top ten ways to pass time when on a ferry:
1. Get out the laptop & catch up on much needed emails or watch a movie.
2. Read a newspaper, magazine or book.
3. Sleep
4. Play various card games.
5. Walk the ferry constantly (a good way to get fit??)
6. Sit & Eat
7. Crosswords / Sudoko
8. Listen to music
9. Go through the gift shop with a fine tooth comb
10. People watch
p.s I have just been on the ferry from Vancouver to Victoria, BC, Canada.

Which one is better to travel with?
Cash is good because you have it on you and you can pay for cheap items easily and it is always accepted and you never get charged any fees when paying with cash. One thing with cash that is a little annoying is having to change it at the currency exchange which is where you will definitely be charged a conversion fee. If you lose your cash, it is gone and never to be seen again.
Honestly, I can’t remember the last time I knew anyone that traveled with Traveler’s Cheques. From what I hear, you get charged when you buy them and you have to write down all the serial numbers and then you have to change them into cash as you go….blah blah blah – can you tell I’m not a fan??
Credit Cards are one of the best things to have with you when you are traveling. You get good exchange rates and some fees and they are normally less than when you buy foreign currency. If you lose your credit card, you can cancel it straight away and hopefully get a new card organized. You can nearly 100% of the time pay for items by credit card anywhere in the world.
Personally, I like to have a mixture of cash & credit cards, just in case I lose one and then I have the other to fall back on. What do you like to travel with?
