That's good information. A couple of years ago it was 1% and then the credit card companies figured another way to rip us off. For years travel writers have been telling people to charge it because it's the cheapest way to go, but I'm not sure that's true anymore. I can't remember what Canadian banks charge because I haven't changed money there since 2006 or '07, but I think it was less than 3% and maybe around 2%. Maybe someone else can update us on bank charges and then we can stop enriching the credit card companies. I wish you had called Visa—didn't you know all our cards are Visa?

When do you leave?
