Hmm, good question. You might want to try and exchange the money here at the bank. You need to bring in your passport and proof of travel (printed eticket works) and then you apply for a foreign currency exchange control permit. You can change up to $5,000 US but might need to give the bank a few days notice. You might be able to exchange a couple hundred bucks at the international airport - that I don't know about.
Atlantic bank would only give me $250 USD last time I traveled, so I am assuming that its probably the same limit. Maybe I will just have to hit up a few banks this morning.
