Though my only real question would be why so much cash?
I just bring a high limit card as well as a bank connected visa debit card. No need to declare its value and I can withdraw anywhere if cash is really needed.

I never leave on a trip with a credit card as my only source of money. Thats just asking for trouble. Never trust banks. Credit cards are an extension of banks.
What if a clerk fucks up and authorizes the card to the limit? What if security sees activity on the account and freezes it (for my protection only, of course)? What if I dont want a paper trail? What if I dont want to pay intrest on it?
Way too many chances for someone else's incomptence to fuck me over in a big way.
Also, I plan to be over there for the whole month of May, 2007. An extended vacation. Its not like this is a weekend getaway. Needs much more planing than that.
