Title: Travel money!
Post by: Toby on 08 December 2012, 22:23

Off to oz in feb for 3 and a half weeks!!

Iv got £2300 to take! But do I ,

Exchange cash,
Prepaid card,
Find a credit card over here?? And pay off the balance?

I'm staying with family over there! So it's not like the cash will be in a safe in a hotel etc!!

Only downside with that is exchange rate I guess!
