If it helps at all, we generally bring the bulk of our cash in hundreds but we do generally have between us two to three hundred dollars in smaller bills, mostly twenties and tens with lots of fives - perhaps $50.00 worth? and perhaps about ten dollars worth of singles in the mix for tips at the various airports and such - bellmen, cab drivers, etc. Breaking hundreds is rarely a problem. Heck, breakfast at JFK is usually the better part of a fifty.....and the maids appreciate the daily tips as well. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />
