Thanks again Gaucho100K. ^

As you can understand, I don't like to carry a lot of cash but based on your advice I'll stop at the bank on the way out of town and pick up a few hundred dollars over and above what we're planning to carry for "contingencies" to exchange at the Banco de Nation.

I've now read your earlier thread about the "other guys" as well so I think we're more prepared for exchanging currency than we would have been otherwise.

Cheers,
Fredd
