We had to do it both times, and a friend-of-a-friend in another state is getting her cash together now. We weren't required to bring 'new' 100s, just ones in general good shape. It's unnerving to travel with the money, but just get several money belts or leg-strap pouches, and it'll be ok. I don't know how your agency works, but we were allowed to hand over the vast majority of cash to our guide the minute we arrived - no longer our worry. - DebbieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16485042.post-1155355179680120442006-08-11T23:59:00.000-04:002006-08-11T23:59:00.000-04:00I keep imagining that sweaty money belt around my ...I keep imagining that sweaty money belt around my waist for that long flight.

Have you considered writing books? You are hilarious and have quite a way with words!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for letting me follow your journey to Olivia. I look forward to meeting you, Ava & Olivia one day (and Muffin Man too if he makes the trip over).Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17073687916893829974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16485042.post-1155311493084316732006-08-11T11:51:00.000-04:002006-08-11T11:51:00.000-04:00We, no-no, I had to write a letter to my bank stat...We, no-no, I had to write a letter to my bank stating WHY I wanted new $100 bills. I think at some point I said "it's my money" but nay I was forced to write a letter to ask for my money be given to me.<BR/><BR/>So we get the call from the bank saying they have everything read for us, Mark schleps all the way downtown, they take him into a little room, closes the door, and opens an envelope incased in two outer envelopes and a sealed plastic bag ala CSI style. Inside are brand new bills from the treasury with sequential serial numbers.<BR/><BR/>I kind of feel like I'm laundering money.<BR/><BR/>My agency does in fact have the option of wiring, but they charge like $300 to do it and I'm cheap so I'm going to make Mark strap those babies on his bod and carry them the 24 hours it's going to take us to get to China. I'm laughing a little just typing that.<BR/><BR/>And I feel so inferior, what is/are the Wonder Pets?<BR/><BR/>Nda Ia eelfa osa nferioria, hatwa sia/rea heta Onderwa Etspa?Stephanie Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16391562762450182479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16485042.post-1155306398962833932006-08-11T10:26:00.000-04:002006-08-11T10:26:00.000-04:00You have GOT to be kidding me!

I haven't even got the damn referral yet and I'm stressed that my bank won't get me "new enough" bills.<BR/><BR/>And then what? Do you wrap it in triple ziploc to make sure it stays "fresh"?
