Accessing my US dollars in the States without a US Bank Account

    I'm English but I have US dollars in a Paypal account. I'm wondering if anyone knows the most efficient way to access these dollars in the US and avoid fees?

    I want to holiday in California and it seems stupid to have to convert my £ sterling to US $ when I already have US dollars. I wouldn't be that bothered but because of Brexit I would get a terrible exchange rate if I have to convert my money, and it's likely only going to get worse over the coming months. It will be a while before it improves.

    I'm guessing I wouldn't have a chance getting a US bank account for a holiday? Could I put the dollars on a pre-paid card?

    Thanks

    oh..looks like Payoneer is going to be my best bet.

    I have signed up for a Payoneer account, verified it and have now received my Pre-paid Mastercard from them. I keep getting an error whenever I try to enter my Payoneer bank details in to Paypal. Are Paypal no longer accepting Payoneer accounts?? If so is there anyway around this?
