I don't want to bring cash because I don't want to go through the trouble of going to the bank and everything... plus, I might not use all the cash and will be left over with US cash and will have to go to the bank again.
I'm not going to bring a 'real' credit card, I was planning to get a prepaid credit card from Vancity... Is that a good idea?

even if you get a pre-paid visa you might still have to pay a heafty amount of surcharges when you use EACH transaction. So each time you swipe that card, then there's a surcharge.
I think for 3 days you can take out 200 dollars US, i'm sure you'll use it all. I can spend up to $500 in just one day's worth of shopping in the states. So i suggest you take out some at least some cash, and if you need more then use the visa card.
If you go with a school group, i don't know if you would still have to pay duties when you come back to canada. So in that case, if you know you are gonna do some shopping, you can always bring less clothing, and just buy it when you are in seattle... then that case if you cut the tags u can jsut wear it back to canada w.out getting taxed

and i won't count on the free toothbrush/tooth paste.... i always bring my own. and NEVER use the cups in the hotel, becuase i watched a tv special, they had hidden cameras... and thye said they never really wash the cups out, they just rinse it out w. water and leaves it for the next guest...
it's always good to bring a small bottle of freebreeze w. antibacterial properties....

this might be too late, but malls are closed on sunday (today). i went on easter sunday last year and previous year and everywhere was closed. so i went there for no reason.

ko0ty · 03-23-2008, 10:22 PM

You should take one AT LEAST $100 cash for food and stuff, plus it's always safer having some cash with you if something happens. I take out at least $400 cash each time (just because I know I will spend at least that much) and use the rest of credit. I hate using my credit card in the US.

momo · 03-24-2008, 01:43 AM

Thanks for all the suggestions!
I spent about $400... just like koOty.

Seattle Premium Outlests was open from 12-5 Easter Sunday
and Sephora in Seattle was open, regular hours :)

I wanted to buy a black signature burberry pattern bikini for $90, it was originally $170.
Do you guys think I should have gotten it?

sw33tsmil3s · 03-24-2008, 03:48 PM

the burberry bikini was definately a good deal..but cuz swiming is more of a summer thing, i think that a colorfull bikini would be better
