I'll be spending 5 days in London, a *fave* city. In the past B/A would mail me GBpounds, $HK, etc., etc FREE, and I thus entered a foreign city flush with local coin literally "in hand." Now B/A wants to charge me an exorbitant service charge for delivering just a few hundred pounds, so:
what's your best recommendation on how to deal with foreign currency? I'll bring my credit card for large buys, natch, but what about "walking around cash"? TIA
