Hi--

Going to Halifax from the US is my first time traveling internationally in
many years. What advice do you offer to such a one as I?

Currency: Is it best to convert money at my home bank, at the airport, at a
bank in Halifax, or just rely on merchants and vendors to properly convert
my US Dollars?

Credit cards will be best for currency conversions for things like car
rentals and meals and hotel, yes? But should I alert my credit card company
about my travels ahead of the trip?

Medicines: My wife has a whole pharmacy in the cabinet. Will it be
necessary for her to carry the actual written prescriptions from her
doctors with the medicines? Should she carry the original pharmacy bottles,
or can she safely transfer her pills to something that packs more
compactly? Are there medicines she cannot bring with her?

Is there anything else you can think we need to know or do to prepare?
