Only George Soros can beat the system. The rest of us have to pay the points. I find the worst deals usually to be changing currency at airport kiosks and hotel desk, and the best being cash withdrawal from ATM but check that your brand name (Visa or whatever) is in the network to minimize fees. Paying with a credit card in local currency is on the good side. Most important: never trade both ways, i.e. don't end up with excess local currency that you then exchange back to home currency, because you pay those points twice. Advice I got was to pay off a portion of the hotel bill with your leftover local cash, retaining what you need for the taxi, and settle the rest of the bill on the credit card. Finally, any remaining local cash should be spent at the airport bar. -- Ed Jankiewicz - SRI International Fort Monmouth Branch Office - IPv6 Research Supporting DISA Standards Engineering Branch 732-389-1003 or ed.jankiewicz@sri.com _______________________________________________ 72attendees mailing list 72attendees@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/72attendees
