Any input on purchasing euros now or in Germany???
Just wondering if you guys purchased euros ahead of time in the US or just waited until you arrived. I was quoted by my bank 1euro=$1.38 plus a $7.00 fee, and they needed to be ordered ahead of time. I am not sure if just getting a few euros for the bus/taxi fare would be a good idea or just waiting until I get to the airport and just using the ATM. I am reading the Euro should be dropping but no drastically. Any comments.

For that kind of rate, I'd use the ATM and take the prevailing rates by set by the Star System.

In my opinion, the best way is to use your ATM card at the airport when you arrive in Europe. Just make sure your PIN is numerical and contain no more than 4 digits. The ATM will have an option to use English. If your bank has a partnership setup with the corresponding European Bank there is no conversion charge or charge for the transaction.
