We often plan a trip to cross the border, do a little shopping or grab lunch and spend a few hours away. Lately with the dollar being what it is we have not been traveling to the USA as often as I would like. Our last minute trips have been more planned out, calculated and budgeted. After all when traveling with children every dollar counts and sticking to a budget is important. Before we would cross-over and pull off to the side before going through customs to exchange our money. Too many times we would pull up and the exchange office would be so busy and the self serve exchange ATMs would be out of money. Yes, you an exchange rate but how current is it, and good luck finding a parking spot and getting back into line smoothly to go over. Even when flying I am really bad at waiting until the last minute and exchanging money at the airport, causing me so many unneeded headaches.
Have you ever done this before? Exchange at the airport when you land at your destination? Good luck finding the place to do the exchange in the huge airport you only ever go in when you are rushed and better luck hoping they are open. I had the worst time exchanging money at the airport, last minute when we went to Mexico. Luckily I had a bit of currency in my purse and was told I could exchange at the hotel. It would have made me feel better to have had it all ahead of time. I was able to exchange but paid a premium to do so and the language difference caused some issues for me.
When traveling with your family you are never too prepared. This means making sure you have enough cash on hand in the correct currency for your destination. When driving and flying you are faced with many obstacles and no matter how well you plan things out, something will always cause you a delay. To avoid the stress and delay of exchanging money at the last minute CIBC has a wonderful service all can use.

I just ordered my US cash for Florida. SO easy and love that it will be ready when i go to my branch.
Since we live so close to the border, we travel to the US often. But, not so much with the dollar. But, WOW. This is such a cool service, I would definitely use it on our next trip into Michigan.
What a great service! I shared with my followers! https://twitter.com/DealsFromMSDo/status/705478242468147200

I personally don’t walk around with cash so I’ve never had to worry about exchanging cash. I’ve a card junkie.
Neat service that I’ve never heard of before this post. Here’s the link to my tweet: https://twitter.com/mama_elle/status/706267382923325440

It is so important to be prepared when traveling. One can so easily be taken advantage of, especially when it comes to exchanging currency.

I’ve always exchanged at the airport before I get on my flight. I have been lucky thus far that nothing was closed.

It’s been a while since we’ve traveled out of the country, but it was never this easy to exchange money! This is so convenient!
What a great service! I will use it for sure next time I travel to the US!

How convenient! It’s always nice to save time and shorten your list of to-dos when traveling.
What a great service!! Traveling out of the country can be so stressful, what a great way not to worry about the currency. Love the home delivery!
https://twitter.com/elizamatt51/status/709480117483864064
This is definitely a useful service. I tend to just use ATMS and contact my bank before my trip and just withdraw cash while there. I worry about having a lot of cash, so this service is a good alternative.
I have never traveled out of the country, to be honest. What a great way to not have to worry about currency.
I have not traveled out of the country in over 10 years! This is a great service and will keep it mind next time go abroad.
I hope I get to travel out of country soon. If I do I will look into this service.
https://twitter.com/elizamatt51/status/709832150103629828
Omg what a great service!!!! I always make sure to get cash before a trip! It’s just easier that way!
We have tons of ways to get a better trip planned. Thanks for this advice. We love travel!
