and not to be too depressing, but your credit card company will probably also charge you a fee above and beyond the exchange rate for foreign currency (unless you have one of the few that waives this surcharge), and the cash exchange rate (ie going to the bank and withdrawing us dollars) is worse than the posted rate as well

Credit card exchange rate was about 35% last week when I bought a piece of software. Brutal.

Figures, it hits the lowest point in a decade the day before I leave... ugh. Going to put my expenses on my US$ Visa card and hope that the exchange rate is better when I go to pay it off
