We usually bring some cash and use US dollars. Mostly charge on credit card which does not charge foreign fee. Thoughts?
Me too, but as I posted on another thread, going to France after trip to SXM by way of London. Was originally staying in London for a week and taking the Euro train. have a UK Bank acct in London and the street exchange boys give good, pounds for euros(reasonable) rates there. Not exchanging dollars for Euros at the airport in Heathrow as at the last minute got a great price going to Marseilles a few hours after we landed in London and therefore only have the opportunity of getting Euros from the airport which is a no, no. Don't have a debit card for the ATM machines, only CC's. But sure I can make a deal with a few french restaurant owners in SXM to exchange about $1000.00 worth, so I thought of the exchange places in SXM and if I have to cough up about 7% extra..C'est la Vie. My fault for not thinking this through.
