Money
in Scandinavia
My travel agent suggested getting $150 in money for each of the 3 countries we will be in on the Scandanavian trip. She said to do this before we leave for the trip. What do you suggest?

I would recommend getting a little bit before you go so have some when you get there - maybe $50 worth? I used less than $100 cash on my last trip (2 weeks long).

And just FYI - the $50 I mentioned previously wasn't meant to be for the whole trip, just emergency money until you get to an ATM at your destination. $100 would also be reasonable, I just personally find $150 to be high (even in Switzerland, which is also expensive, I didn't spend that much). If it means peace of mind for you, though, then by all means get the amount you're comfortable with.
Also, some checking accounts will waive ATM withdrawal fees from any ATM (even outside your bank network), which makes than an even more attractive option for cash.
