ConnecticutFlamingo Posted May 17, 2017 Author #76 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Correct. But, one also needs to consider the exchange rate one pays to convert USD to CAD and then CAD to CUC. I just googled airport exchange rates (usually the worst thing to do) and it said I would get $122 CAD for $100 USD (this looks particularly awful). Looking at Oanda, the CAD to CUC is around 70% (I'm assuming another fee). $122*70% = 85.4CUC. My understanding is that $100 USD = 87CUC. Is my math and understanding not correct? One may be able to get better exchange rates, but some people may not have ready access and would need to research more, spending time doing so - airports may be the best solution for them (although not ideal.) I'm going to keep my USD, but will try to remember to do the conversion for other currencies for my 5/20 trip. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Your too in depth for me. After what we read on Trip Advisor and other sources, we felt it was best for us to convert here in the US to CAD$. My bank does not sell foreign currency so it was easier to have my sister do the exchange at Tampa Intl. Would do the same again when we go back.

Cruisin' With The Fam! Posted May 26, 2017 #77 Share Posted May 26, 2017 On your Old Havana Walking tour, you mentioned going to a sample rum and cigars. Could you buy rum on their excursion? If so, do you happen to remember how much the rum cost? We are trying to determine how much money to bring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
