I like using local currency, or sometimes Euros or American dollars. Since I'm Canadian, I have to change my money into something, and I feel that in this case, the local currency probably gets you a bit better value, as Colleen says. That being said, dollars are certainly handy to have as well. I'll be bringing some of each! :D
