Re: Toronto - COMMON planning...

[Léo <leo@xxxxxx>]

There are also ABM's everywhere, where you you can get money without 
paying too much 'exchange fees'. There is also a Royal Bank ABM right 
into the main lobby of the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. If you're 
staying at the Fairmont Royal York, you'll have at least 3 major banks 
ABM's  in the underground  P.A.T.H.....VERY convenient!

Don't worry TOO much about foreign exchange.....when I travel, I don't.
Also, most of the taxis and limousines will accept credit & debit cards .
