The best option IMO is to get an international bank account. For instance a Lloyds Bank offshore Premier International account. They offer free international transfers between euro, sterling and US dollar accounts and 24/7 worldwide access to your money through ATM, internet and phone banking. They will treat you as royalty with deposits over $100k. Get you a savings and checking account with ATMs and you will be able to withdraw $1,000/day from any ATM. But why? Keep your money there and use it whenever you want to buy a big ticket item or to pay bills. Your money never has to come into the US. You can set it up without even leaving the country. I have several friends who make money overseas. They keep that money overseas.

Another route is to fly down there and pick up your money in small increments. Bring a partner or 2 so each of you can bring in $9,999 cash. Do that 3 or 4 times and you're set. But what are you going to do with the cash? Hide it under the mattress? You're not going to be able to put it under a US account without it being reported. Get an international account.
