 TITLE: How to Plan Your Honeymoon on a Budget CONTENT: Keep Exchange Rates in Mind\n---------------------------\nIf you're planning an international vacation, be aware of currency exchange rates. Your dollars will go furthest in countries that offer the best exchange rates. Before you book your stay, use an online currency converter to get a grasp on how far your dollars will go in another country when converted to a foreign currency.\nFor example, if you plan to spend about $1,000 while in England on your honeymoon, currency conversion reduces that sum to about £750. Find out how much meals and incidentals cost locally to see how far the converted amount will take you. Exchange rates rise and fall, which can impact your budget. Keep an eye on those rates before you leave so you know what to expect and can modify your spending plan.\nYou should also make sure you're using the right credit card while you're traveling internationally. Foreign transaction fees typically add 3% to your credit card purchases, but some cards don't charge these fees. Make sure your travel card is one of them before you start making purchases overseas. If it does, apply for a card designed for international travel. END
