Only 18 more days until our Ireland journey begins!!!


More ideas to share:

ATM - You will almost always get the best exchange rate when buying foreign currency with an ATM. Many travelers hit the ATM at the airport when they land. I know I do. Kos suggested checking with you bank to see if there is a daily withdraw limit when traveling abroad. I did not have that problem with Wells Fargo but good to check. Remember to let your bank and any credit cards you plan to use know when and where you are traveling. You can do this on their website or by calling.

You may also want to check with your cell phone carrier and ask about your coverage in Ireland. I’m T-Mobile Global Network. When I called they said my data and texts were free but calls were 25 cents per minute. Now I know.

WhatsApp – Nine of us are in the group already. It looks like all you need to do is download the app (it’s free) from your Play Store on your phone. I will be able to see you then and add you to the group. Remember to go to SETTINGS and turn off notifications unless you want it to ding every time someone gives a thumbs-up or responds. I know I don’t.

If I am forgetting anything or you have some travel tips to share, let me know and I’ll include them in next week’s email. It may be the last official one as Bob and I leave for England on Sept. 1. Of course, I can communicate from the road but I’m hoping to get all the information to you before we leave. The beauty of WhatsApp is that once we are all on there we will have instant communication for the group. See you all soon!
