a couple questions for those that have done this before: How much ready cash is recommended? How much Canadian cash is recommended? Or do we rely on debit/credit cards with minimal cash on hand?
We traveled four months through the U.S. and Canad. From Vancouver to Ottawa we never paid for any major purchase such as gas, groceries, big ticket items with cash. We used our Mexican debit cards without any issues. Small change was carried for coffee or a snack. Very easy traveling around the world now with no cash or very little. You can do all of North American (Canada, U.S. and Mexico) with cards. We do.
