Your daughter may just get brave enough for a quick dip at Skeggie before you go I guess! I think you did OK for prices though but, hey, you're going on holiday!

If I buy travellers cheques then I know what I paid for them and therfore how much I am actually paying for stuff over there. Isn't it the case thath if I use my VISA or other card then I am at the mercy of the exchange rate and will not actually know how much I am paying [?]
BTW I have been living in Lincoln for just over 10 years now. Hated it when we first moved here (with work) but it has grown on me over the years. Since we are now building an extension to our house to add two bedrooms I guess we will be here for a while longer

Oh, you're an adopted 'me dook' too! It sort of grows on you doesn't it?
That's true Nigel (the exchange rate could go up though!) but don't not take one as you'll need it for the car rental desk and also for any emergencies (although I hope you don't have any!).

always been surprised at the good rates when using plastic.
I normally take and use all 3.
TC's in larger demoninations for security and larger purchases, cash for smaller purchases, taxi's and tips. And credit card for things like security deposit swipes, and fast track car hire return.
I've often used a Barclaycard in the US and been plesantly surprised on several occasions when the statement comes through. Maybe I've just been lucky with the exchange rates.
Whatever method you use a foreign exchage rate is applied somewhere in the transaction.

Daft question time, with T/C's do you have to have your passport with you?
Don.
We were never asked for ID when we used T/C;s and after the first few times this happened
we stopped taking our passport with us.
