Ellie, CDN dollar is actually doing pretty well! (It's been strengthened and the US dollar has been weakened - and so it goes in our process of taking you guys over, and then THE WORLD!!) - US$1 = CDN$1.22 so it's not doing too bad at all. (Esp. considering when I went to NYC in April, I was paying about CDN$1.3 and in 2001/2, closer to CDN$1.3-1.4!!)
I don't know if I should bring traveller's cheques there - it's obviously safer and practical, but my friends told me they had to pay exhorbitant rates to use them! (Something like paying EUR35 to get EUR50 in cash!) I will PM Dame though.
