Wherever I have traveled before, I just withdrew local currency at a bank ATM on arrival. Never had an issue.
I'm headed to the DR in June for a study abroad and my program is advising me to have pesos in hand on arrival, and preferably do not get them at the airport exchange.
I guess maybe the admins think we will get jumped at a local ATM or something? irate: But why not get it at the US airport?
Any Charlotte area DR people know where to get them locally? Most places don't even know where the DR is, nevermind getting anything other than Mexican pesos. [Or is this whole thing really just gringo paranoia?]
Thanks !
