Well, you could do it on line. Currency Exchange has an online work around, as well. It may just depend on what company owns the one you patronize. Check out if they have on line otherwise you'll have to go through your bank.Here's a question though. How do we go about buying US $ right now? I ususally go to a currency exchange place nearby. Are they even open during the shutdown?
I could probably do it through the bank I bank with but I get a better rate at the currency exchange.

I have a US $ account with both Tangerine (formerly ING) and TD Bank. Then US $ visa card with TD Bank. Get slightly better rate buying with Tangerine, and nominally better interest rate with Tangerine. I pay an annual fee for the TD US $ visa. But if I travel min x2 to the US in a year, works best for me. Also handy to pay my WDW $200 deposit then the balance with the visa. Sure there are better systems out there.
ps avoid the Home Trust US $ visa. I've had at least 8 fraudulent charges to it this past year and had to dispute each one. No one has time for that crazy. Sounds like Home Trust hacked with mass visa fraud.

I transfer money to my USD account every payday to pay for my vacation. The bank charges higher fees than some other places but by putting aside the money throughout the year I find I get a decent rate.Loonie rises to .79 cents. If you have money set aside for a future vacation, now is the time to watch the dollar.

Yes that is part of the idea. The other part is to arrive in Florida with USD in hand for shopping, groceries and souvenirs. Vacations can be expensive but it is comforting managing the money without guessing how big the credit card bill will be when you return to Canada.Dollar cost averaging!
