I think it does not occur to many Americans. It did not occur to me. That an ATM might even _be_ an option let alone a good or very good option for traveling in Europe has not really crossed our minds yet. Part of it is ignorance of exchange rate issues with ATMs and what ever fees might be charged. And the rise of ATMs as an option is relativly recent. We have not figured out yet that Travelers' checks are nearly defunct.
Thanks for the suggestion.
