I think you can get a pre-paid card (Visa maybe?) at some places that sell traveler's checks. Might check with one of the larger DC banks. On 9/8/05, andrew strasfogel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: My son is leaving the D.C. area for Gonzalez, Louisiana on Saturday 9/10 to help in the effort to

Andrew, Best bet would be to get a Debit Card for him. 99% of the stations I use going to Bristol takes them. When your son arrives in Gonzales if he needs anything give him my phone number 225-644-3880Home 225-253-9514Cell. The Organization that I'm VP of is Cataloging all the Rescued pets
