Thanks a lot. :-)

They all have systems now that look for "unusual" transactions, and sudden transactions from a different country often trigger these. I've always made a point of calling my card issuers before I travel, and letting them know where I'm going and what sort of transactions I'll be putting on my card. Jeremy
