Went to the bank to get a bit of cash to start our summer’s adventures. Ordered $250 in Euros, $250 in British pounds, and $50 in Icelandic Krona. Only the bank teller got it backwards and we didn’t notice right away. Gave us €250 and £250. The exchange rates made the amounts similar about 1.1 for euros to dollars and 1.3 for pounds. But when she got to the Icelandic krona she gave me a funny look. “Um, the cash you wanted for that part of your trip? It just debuted your account for $3.75. What are you planning, to buy a single cup of coffee the entire time you’re in the country?” Oops! I had wanted to buy $50 worth, not ISK 50! $50 turned out to be ISK 6500. Okaaay, got that sorted. Travel adventures and we haven’t even gotten started yet. Hmmm…
