Legitimate ATM's in other countries may be hard to identify!

Exactly! It's not always easy for Americans or Canadians to recognise "safe" ATM's in other countries.

We've used ATM's in Ireland, Germany and the UK, BUT, always only at bank branches and never in convenience type stores and definitely never at the unidentified generic type starting to appear even in Canada. We would also never use them in Africa, Asia or S.America!

So much safer and better to carry cash and not have to worry about exchange rates, etc.

BUT, we still need something in writing outlining the rules for (and rights of!) people travelling to/from Canada together by air.
