Much better rates of exchange. Always able to find one at first stop after airport. Unless of course you need some for transportation. Will we need them to use restrooms when we land at FCO? That's always my first stop at any airport; don't know if I can wait to find an ATM, seriously. Or do we have to be sure we make Last call on the airplane then make a beeline for ATM once we land? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My credit union told me today they cannot get me euros and told me to use ATM at airport or money exchange in the mall. Very strange considering they're an international institution serving military worldwide. But oh well - I am happy for those who have a couple clinking around and will hit the ATM at FCO. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haljo1935 I’m thinking airports are universal with “free” rest rooms. I’ve never had to pay in any airport, Italy, England, Amsterdam or France. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkey is an especially interesting one since we are booked on an independent excursion, taking us to Ephesus, the Terrace Houses, lunch is provided and a Turkish Bath (we are bringing swimsuits😉)! So excited!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My goldendoodle is ok with the suitcases, it's my gray kitty with the white belly who will hide, won't say good bye and won't say hello for at least an hour after we come home. So happy you are joining me on this European adventure! Here is gray kitty looking like "where the heck are you going?"

Just make sure it is a reputable ATM (connected to a bank), and your bank has been notified you will be withdrawing in a foreign country. We tried to pull money out of an ATM at the metro in Budapest and it ate his card. Luckily mine was still active and I was able to withdraw in Prague as planned. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ninjacat123 Posted October 11, 2023 Author #91 Share Posted October 11, 2023 (edited) Good morning (it still is, isn't it?😉)!! I went to my friend Deb's house and she did my hair. Now I'm looking ready for my close up but what is even better news?? Deb just got back from a trip to Ireland and she has euros!! The Bank of Deb sold me 70 euros (that's what she had left) and I am a happy camper with good looking hair 👍 Edited October 11, 2023 by ninjacat123 9 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
