Money

Well, I have traveled pretty extensively...and I do know that pretty much every currency exchange (whatever country you are in) will take a credit card (hence the AMEX) and give you cash in hand...that was really all I meant by that.

Anyway...thanks again.

I wouldn't exactly say 29 is WAAAY older than me, but I get your point. I was just wondering what was 'normal' as far as how often people went clubbing there...not just to bars etc. Obviously I'm not going for a mellow vacation or I would be going somewhere else. :D
 
I'm not going to say you are wrong cuz you've obviously been there, but I paid for the hotel with an AMEX, so there must be some that take it. Most hotels usually will do currency exchange as well...

I'm sure I'll be fine. $2k for one week is quite a bit of money! :D

I remember dancing in manumission next to a guy that must have been in his 60's :). You'll probably find there is no 'norm' when it comes to clubbing in ibiza, and that's probably down to there being so much choice. If your there during Radio1, then id go for those events...there's a list somewhere here.

Personally, Im taking £900 ( 1312 euros ) cash, plus bank card..for 11 nights. Food is cheap, its the drink that'll put a dent in the wallett

One week...I think I leave the day Radio 1 week starts...which is okay, I'll probably be exhausted by then, and I'm sure it will be crazy enough without Radio 1 there.

Okay, so I'm feeling pretty good about my $2k now. Was sorta up and down about how much to allot myself...but that seems sufficient...and if necessary, I can break into the reserves. My experience has been, on holiday or home, men tend to pay for most of the drinks so I'll be just fine! Just didn't want to be scraping by!

Yippee!!! Only 36 hours to go!!! 8)
 
Yup, bursting at the seams excited! My friends arrive from Cali at 6AM tomorrow so packing is tonight...then it's one long party till I get back to NY! :) :)

Ha you clown, I had tried online maps and none of them where accurate enough.

As it happens when I made that post I already knew a variety of ways of taking cash abroad and knew of the various positives and negative connotations of each, but was working out which was cheapest dues to various commision and bank charges.

Nice try though, where is Israel btw?

Hey, I tried!!!

I see you only 10 or so days left until your holiday, enjoy. Watch out for those bank charges though!

btw - I do know where Israel is and I'm glad I am not there right now.

peace
