Sending money between countries is two things. Changing currencies and moving the cash. Bitcoin maybe saves you some money on the latter but you are going to need to do the former to do something useful no matter what and it doesn't save you anything there. Plus if you're an American suddenly this transaction has tax consequences.
Plus I don't know where you got that quote but most transfers are much cheaper than that a/i. That pairing must just be incredibly non-competitive since it's very low volume.

If you're referring to the tent, the credit card processor choked on my Icelandic address and rejected it address as "not the address of the cardholder". It's a relatively common problem.
