Currency exchange and travel advice needed please
pokerpops:
Thanks all - I think Paulie"s observation on the minimal impact of rates on the comparatively small amount I"m taking is pertinent and I guess that sends me off to find the most convenient method of doing this.
My local ASDA (see what a baller I am) has a currency bureaux and offers a free Currency Card that I can just preload and draw what I need from an ATM or just spend on the card. Rate looks to be close enough to anything online and I can reload via internet banking if I need to.
Downsides?

Depends on what you are charged for using the ATM....they aren"t usually free outside of the UK.

No charge from the card provider, I guess there will be a charge at the Marriott but it does mean I don"t have to faff on with travellers cheques or carry all my cash with me.
