    Celebration Hotel, usually stay in a villa but there are only 2 of us, we booked late and it's half term week.

    Hey Liz, we are going from Gatwick on Virgin on 22nd October - I will have to make an OV sign or sticker so we can be spotted (and avoided probably)

    I am thinking of going over for the mid-term break week too, have not booked the flights yet though, as I live in Plymouth it is easier to fly from Cardiff, so I am waiting for the price to drop a bit, if not will go from Heathrow.

    Great Lesley, I will look out for you..doyou look anything like your avatar
    I am travelling with my sister so if you see 2 forty plus women, one very slim ([}][}]her) and one plump with big boobs ([)][)]} thats us. We will both have very large suitcases that don't look very heavy [msnwink] I wonder why!
    Have a great trip.[msncool]

    To be honest have not followed the rate for a long time, normally it goes up and down with the way the US economy is.

    Obviously it must be getting better as recently it is going down. (normally it will go up if they have bad reports) Think if you get1.72 at the mo you are doing OK.

    Is it a good idea to take some sterling with us and change it in Florida - will we get a better rate over there?

    You usually find it is a better rate if you use you bank card or visa!

    You have to go to the bank to change money in the US!

    I bought mine just before Sept 28 and got 1.73 for £6,000 worth-which was a bit mean I think

    Like Ray&Sarah we tend to put everything on a credit card when we get there, it is what we have done for bout 7 years now[^]
    The exchange rate has really changed over the last few months, elections in the US I assume?
