Deviating from your usual cautious ways with travel finances isn't a good idea at the beginning of the week. Stick with reputable travel agents or websites, watch for hidden fees when exchanging currency and don't splurge unless it's in the budget. After Wednesday, you're into the spirit of your trip and in tune with your destination. Shed those inhibitions and connect with the locals -- that's how great memories (and photos!) are made. Be security-conscious this weekend; use the hotel safe for valuables and carry important belongings in a money belt.
