Euros to dollars for European vacation

I am planning a trip to Europe. To facilitate access to money, a relative who lives there has offered to provide me with euros in a lump sum when I get there. If I need more euros they will provide me with more on a flow basis. When I return to the U.S. I will convert the total amount of euros I used into dollars using the then current exchange rate and I will deposit this amount of dollars into my relative's bank account here.

How would you handle this in Quicken?

Thanks!

I'll be keeping track of expenses as I go and I'm planning to follow your first suggestion.

Thanks for your response.

Currently the exchange rate is close to $1.40/?. But beware, many expenses in Europe cost numerically the same in ? as they cost here in $. Also be aware of pickpockets, especially in the Paris Metro. I lost ?150 just like that. Luckily there were no other useful things in that wallet at the time. Furthermore, inquire about tipping where you go. The 15-

20% one is accustomed to in NY City is very excessive over there. Often a few coins or up to 4 or 5% is plenty.
