Travel expert Rick Steves suggests ways to limit fees while getting cash abroad. Good stuff I’ll try to remember for my next trip. Not counting Canada, I’ve only been abroad twice (a summer in the Dominican Republic, including a weekend jaunt to Haiti, more than 10 years ago and a honeymoon in Ireland back in 2007). Hopefully we can go somewhere like England or elsewhere in Europe in 2011, when my vacation time expands a week. But I’m pretty clueless when it comes to international travel (not Clark Griswald clueless, but still). Fortunately, my wife is an expert - she probably knows all of Steves’ tips already.
