RE: [OT] Tips for when i go to New York

["ho yin" <yahoogroups@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dean,

I personally would exchange some cash here - i.e. in the post office where
there is no comission.

Then use your credit card to purchase goods and pay for hotels etc (but not
to withdraw cash).

Using a cash card to withdraw cash is possible, but you get hit by service
charges and not so friendly exchange rates.

As for jet lag ... the way I try and get round it (when I do long haul
flights to Hong Kong) is when you return try not to go to sleep at some
strange hour just because your body feels like it as it is still in NY
time.
I try and stay awake till a sensible UK sleeping time approaches. Therefore
my body adjusts to the UK time quicker.

Have a great trip though NY is great! Going to be cold though!

Ho yin

I know there are many seasoned travellers here....

We're going to New York on Friday for a long weekend - I've never been
further than the Channel Islands before.

I think I've got my head round e-tickets to get me on the plane :)

I was after any advice people might have to make it an enjoyable time -
stupid things I've thought about are - can you use ATM's over there with a
barclays connect card ? - are there any sorts of Taxi's we should get
from/to the Airport so we're not ripped of like tourists (which we are),
and
any tips for jet lag coming back ?

I cant believe that at 39 I'm actually getting nervous about going on
holiday - not worried about flying, but everthing else is a bit new to me
:)



Sorry for the OT post Mark.



Thanks



Dean.
