Current exchange rate is 1.35, so $100us = $135can, this means 33% discount on anything you buy
But stores and restaurants might only give you 20-25% exchange if you pay in US$
Most Credit Cards now charge 2.5% to do foreign exchange on purchases, so cash can save you some money
Not a bad idea to go to your bank and buy some Can.$ for the trip, and it looks funny too, lol
Any bank can ordered Can$ in if they don't have it on hand, so check how long it takes
No $1 or $2 bills, we have "Loonie" $1 coin, and "Toonie" $2 coin
Banff is a tourist area so prices tend to be higher
Scenery is its main attraction, and it is stunning
Should get some good weather, but it will get cold in the evening, its at 4,500ft elevation
The Banff Gondola is nice on a clear day, about $40us, so $64can
Loads of walking or driving trails/roads
Lots of "day trips" out of Banff, because it is a tourist area, lol
Have a great Honeymoon
