What do you need? My husband will use his backpack for water, souvenirs, and other items I might buy. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I first went to Europe in the early 80's and they already had the handheld credit card machines. It is like that on Canada as well. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are literally the only country that has THOUSANDS of banks. A quick Google search shows Canada has over 80 different banks while the US has over 4,000 different banks! The consequence is competition and no agreements for industry standards. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You choose to pay in one denomination or the other? I looked up Pound Sterling to the Dollar and today it's at 1 pound equals 1.24 dollar. Was the sammie tasty? So many questions....🤣 Always pay in the local currency, and yes! It was good! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravelGirlinDallas Posted May 30, 2023 #1422 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Totally enjoying your entertaining review, as usual. I was riveted by the luggage drama and so glad you ended up getting your bags in time. You handled it so well - I would have been losing my mind. We were also flying that weekend and I was so thankful it was non-stop! This trip & cruise looks amazing! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
