Watch out for Credit Card fees when travelling to Canada

We just got back from a 2 month trip to East Coast and Canada.--  Beautiful
and loved it despite $1.59/Liter for diesel!
I have always been told to use a credit card when out of the US since you
get the benefit of paying in Canada Dollars which are running at about $.95
US then the credit card company converts your charge to $US. As far as this
goes, it is true and I saved about $25 when the transactions were posted.
What I was not aware of was that CITI card charges a "Foreign Transaction
Fee" on every purchase.  This totaled up to a charge of over $100 US.  It's
my fault for not reading all the fine print but this didn't happen 7 years
ago when I was using an ATT card in Canada.  I just wanted to let you guys
to be aware of this.  I should have done what I did with some of my cash on
hand which was to go to a Royal Bank of Canada and have them change $100 US
to Canadian for a $3 fee so that I would have pocket money.(btw Canadian
money is pretty) that would have been cheaper .
Anyway we had a great trip and I wanted to save you guys some cash.  Don't
be a dummy like me!
