Question for my fellow Canuck boardies??

The CDN dollar has been pretty much par for weeks now. Closer to par,when you exchange online, you get a better rate. Convert to US dollars. or US travelers cheques. No Tx fees w some credit card company, like ours. I order ahead, so they can "find" them at my bank. Actually getting harder to get and not taken as usual in some businesses abroad. Had a hard time using them as cash in Cayman, 2009
Last reach I realized its more difficult to use TCheques then it is to use cash. That being said, I never used the Instant Teller in Negril

No need to convert to US dollars first. As stated by the others, just go and buy TC's in Canadian funds or bring cash if you're comfortable with carrying a lot of cash. We always mix it up, some cash and TC's. Never had or felt the need to double exchange. Scotia Bank is good for exchange and it is air conditioned as well. Nice and cool while you stand in line!
