Should I exchange $$$$ to Canadian $$$$ Before.

I always use the Credit Unions for my exchanges. Since I have mostly all Canadian relatives I make the trip frequently. I also usually have a couple hundred in the drawer at home for a start. With Canadian prices $100 won't go very far. You can also use credit cards and they give an exchange rate. Discover is one that does not charge a foreign transaction fee but they are not widely accepted in Canada, even if they say they take them there can be a problem. Even my little Roadtrek has over a $100 gas tank in Canada. I can't get that much in here in the US. Enjoy and stop and see some of the sites.
Are you planni9ng on taking Hwy 17 across or cutting down to Toronto? If you go 17 I would recommend the Rocky Mountain House in Cobden for Schnitzel. I never miss it. Petawawa has a free military museum on the CFB there. Pembroke was the first city in Canada to have electric lighting for the streets and they have murals on many building walls that are interesting to see. The electric museum there is small but interesting. The Ottawa river is a great scenic route from North Bay to Ottawa. Museums in Ottawa and Parliament Hill are great visits. It is a great trip.

bsinmich........You have peeked my Wife's interest with your statement about Schnitzel in Cobden...I need directions.... Is the address 17 West Shell? I did a Google search and that's what came up.....

Also I called Discover and she said we should be good to go, however I have a Pen Fed Card that is chipped also so we should be OK..

I am now thinking we will get $200 Canadian at Wal-Mart and if we need more we will get it.......
