But - at least at Newark International I know . . . you can get Euros in the terminal.

And there are no dumb questions! I came to DU with dumb questions about Costa Rica many years ago - and those who were well traveled there helped me out.

My husband is Italian, I now have my citizenship, and we own homes there. If there is a question unanswered PM me and I can ask him.

My first time in Rome Italy was fantastic because he lived there at one point, and knew ways around the traffic, best places to eat, etc. etc. He's lived in Acri (where he's from), Florence, Rome - did a lot of his military time in Pisa.
