The new Euro Rate - So what is it worth today in 2010

<< < (14/22) > >>

I'm a bit dissapointed the cash machine is out of order. I normally take a mixture of Euros (around a third) and then Travellers cheques but nearly always need to visit the cash machime towards the end of the holidays

What does everyone usually budget per day per couple??

We used to work on around £50 per day between us. This was in the good old days though when the exchange rate was around 1.40!! That would usually get us a light lunch each, couple of beers each during the day, 2 course meal with wine on an evening and then probably another 3/4 drinks each later in the evening.

We noticed when we were in Spain last year that I was probably spending circa £75 per day on living expenses.

lilly:
Last time we went to SS we took mostly euro's but knew we would have to draw out another £500 whilst over there. The Thomas Bay cash machine never had any money in it so we walked over to Arillis[I believe this cash machine is no longer there]. The machine would not give us any money, our son rang us from UK to tell us TSB fraud squad had rang and we called them to ask what the problem was has I had already rang them prior to our visit to tell them that we would be drawing money out in Corfu[that was a waste of time]. They said somebody had tried to draw money from our account in Corfu to which I replied yes it was me.After numerous questions they said it would be ok now to draw the money so back over to Arillis and was relieved when we received our money. I suppose it is a good thing to know that they are on the ball but since I had told them about my visit to Corfu it did seem that I might as well have not bothered.
This year taking the cash only.
Just found over 50 euro's in one of the travel bags so feels like we will be getting a free night out whilst on holiday. :)

I had a very similar experience in Macy's in New York whilst trying to buy my Omega watch!! Had to go back to the hotel with my tail between my legs to phone the bank after they stopped my card due to potential fraud!!

Back to Macy's then to try again (successfully this time!!)

I'll just lose the odd couple of cents here and there on the exchange, after all I hear YOU will be buying
most of the rounds in any case  :D  :D  ;D

Hi Mikee
You must be joking, you have heard  all about Don and his aversion to buying a round.Just wait until you meet Don Yan.
See you at the Romanza on the 25th.
