American Money to Euro

Well we found out yesterday that we need to take Euros instead of American money to Cuba. Because Cuba charges you 20 for every dollar you change into cuban pesos.



My aunt Lili called me and explained that we can get the Euros at the airport...but we need to go today...because it takes the bank 4 business to get them in and we leave next week.



I called and talked to a lady there at the money place and told her that we would be in today to exchange our money. She ask how much total.... I said somewhere between 12000. to 18000...she said I'll get all the money here and I will call you if there is a problem. She called 20 minutes later and asked me where I was going? ( my aunt Damaris called up there the day before and told them that we were going to Cuba and we need to exchange our money and the guy she talked to gave her a hard time about going to Cuba) So they were now quizing me to see if I was linked with Damaris because they were not going to give us the money.
I told her that I was going to France and London....so then she was trying to sell me pound. UGH!! Thank God for my husband who LOVES history and has taught me about WWII and the beach of Normany in France....so I able to sound like I was going there.

Long story short up until the last minute...she was still to see if we were going to Cuba. She asked my aunts where were they from and Lili said Mexico and Damaris said here and I was going to say Puerto Rico. LOL!! You had to be there. WHAT'S the BIG DEAL we have Permission to go...
