[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Back to the money: depending on how soon you're going and if it works for you, consider getting a credit card that doesn't charge exchange fees.  The United and American Airlines-affiliated cards have this feature and are free for the first year.

Otherwise--you'll just have to compare which option for payment is least costly.  One surprise to me: I was traveling recently, and another member of my group had gotten a very reasonable rate by just getting 1,000 euros in cash.

Of course, a lot will depend on what expenses you'll need to cover. (Is it a work trip? How is hotel being covered?)

Laundry: I'm also a fan of washing the small items often and carrying less, though I'll admit that my current preferred solution is to seek out an AirBnB with a washer.

Enjoy!

I would second the suggestion to try to travel more, but with a different angle: it's often not much (or any!) more costly than some US destinations--it's more about getting used to international travel.  I hope you love your trip and it encourages you to travel more![/quote]

Op said she has a target mc

Cash Advance (Target MasterCard only)

Q: How can I take out a cash advance on my card? 
A: You can take out a cash advance at an ATM or in person at a bank, money transfer service or casino. You'll need a PIN to use an ATM.

TD Bank USA, N.A.

Q: Who is TD Bank USA, N.A.? 
TD Bank USA, N.A. is the issuer of the Target Credit Card and the Target MasterCard. This change was made in March of 2013, and we notified cardholders of this change in February and March of 2013. If you have questions about your card please call Target Card Services at 1-800-424-6888 or write to Target Card Services, PO Box 673, Minneapolis, MN 55440

So. No fees. But will of course need a PIN

Keep in mind op-this is a cash advance. That is NOT the same as taking money from your own bank account. You get charged a substantial interest rate. [/quote]
