The current FX rate is 1.0888 to 1.0900, so they are adding about 5%
profit for the transaction. A credit cart will add about 7% to the FX rate, unless
you have a no fx charge credit card. We are taking cash for caddy tips, small items, etc,
and will use the credit card for all else.

I ordered ahead of time as the euro was 1.05 dollars to the euro a month back or so,
so the euro is strengthening slowly so buy now versus waiting.

There is a Bank of America financial center in TV, across from Bealls, if i remember correctly
