I seriously thought about taking US dollars but the exchange rate is so bad right now for Canadians that I decided against it. If our dollar strengthens, I'll be exchanging to US$ next time I go to Bali.

I calculated $1000 CAD in 2 ways on the Universal Currency Converter:

$1000CAD --> $665.46 USD -->

$665.46 USD --> 5,722,960IDR

OR

$1000CAD --> 5,722,750IDR

So to me it seems that converting to US dollars first would be pointless. Anybody else have a different view of this? Yes, I am travelling with the Meridian package. Thanks for your help.
