Question about cash for vacation...
« on: April 15, 2008, 09:53:30 AM »
I'm leaving on Thursday morning for a sailing trip in the Virgin Islands...  Yay!

Unfortunately where we are going, cashpoints are few and far between, so we need to take out a large chunk of change here before we go (U.S. dollars).  Any advice on where to go to do this?  Who has the best exchange rate?  Websites?

Thanks a bunch!

You can check TravelEx's website and get a quote online. I've also found M&S and Tesco to have good rates so I would suggest phoning your nearest stores up to ask!

Hope you have a great time!

I'm thinking about getting metal legs. It's a risky operation, but it'll be worth it.

Helen, I hope you and your family have a wonderful time!  Hope the weather is wonderful for sailing, as well.  Look forward to meeting up and hearing all about it when you get back!!

I have no advice, but I'm VERY jealous!

Have a great trip.

You're in London, right?

My husband swears by one of the currency exchange places near Victoria - FX something.  I think this is it:

Link Fx Plc 2 Victoria Arcade London SW1E 5ND Tel: 020 7931 9090

He's been going there for years and says they always have competitive rates.
