The last few times that we have travelled o/s, I've just taken cash.....
usually about $5k. I just put it in a money belt and (discreetly) pull
some out when we need to change some.
If that runs out, we have our credit cards.
With cash, you get a better exchange rate at the local money changers.
I'm lucky in that I'm not the sort of person that local thugs would deem
an 'easy target' for a mugging
The transaction fees from our banks for using an ATM o/s are pretty bad,
and I'll be buggered if I'm going to pay my bank anymore than I usually do
to access my money when I want it.
Lucky you!!
Is your husband your employer???!!! ;-)
