[QUOTE="jmcarp, post: 958902, member: 19617"] I know this is a weather thread, but since the reserve cash issue has been raised, I just wanted to remind folks that many U.S. Banks (and probably Canadian banks, etc.) offer currency exchange services, as does AAA. Be forewarned, however, that it may take a few days since some of those banks may not keep foreign currency on hand for immediate exchange. Check with your bank a couple of weeks before your scheduled departure for the details. When we go anywhere overseas--Camino or otherwise--we always take at least two or three days' worth of the local currency in a secure money belt, divided between my wife and I. If there happens to be an ATM handy somewhere on our first day of arrival, we'll supplement that as we anticipate our needs for the next few days, and keep at least a portion of our initial stake in reserve for emergencies. Another reminder: Always look for an ATM at a local bank--the ATMs at the airport and at commercial establishments usually charge excessive fees. And DO NOT use a credit card to take out cash from a machine or a bank--that's considered a cash advance, and the company will apply a very high interest rate from the day of withdrawal (there may be exceptions, depending on the credit card company, so know before you go).
