Then place them in safety deposit boxes. Take them out one at a time when needed and change them usually when you find somewhere good at the same place so you can trust them. I wouldn't carry too mush around at a time. I take a credit card too and the big stores and bigger restaurants take these. Always a good option cos you get a better rate for your money.
If you are by yourself $2000 shoulds be heaps. I took $1500 for 7 days by myslef and probably bout nearly $500 home. We ate and drank and didn't look at prices. On holidays i don't like to be a scrooge!!
You would need to check with your bank about the fees charged but usually about $5 a transacton and you can't get a great amount out at a time. I am with a credit union and use my credit card to access money with no fees.
Hope that helps a little
