Almost $5000? I guess times are tough in the banking industry.
The last time I went to europe I thought I had a deal worked out with a local bank to 'buy' some euros (only about 10% of what you're looking to get). A big suprise when it came time to make the exchange. It was too late to try another venue, it ended up cheaper using a credit card and taking the hit on their exchange rate. While there, I was fortunate to make some greenbacks change hands also; don't leave home without some.
