I haven't even got mine yet and I go in 10 days time. I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!

Hi,
I've got two weeks left so going to have a look around at weekend. I'm really excited too, like a big kid. That's the fun aswell the build up to your holiday.

Jodie ... if you have a branch of LloydsTSB locally, it may be worth checking it out, as some branches are still selling Sterling Travellers Cheques commission free (even to non-account holders). Failing that, M&S are selling them at a commission rate of 1%.

Hi,
Thanks David. I actually work for Barclays but their travellers cheques are VISA and I have had problems cashing them in Spain. I have got a lloyds near me and M&S in Brum so I probably go there. Thank you again for your help because I was always unsure whether to take sterling or Euro.

Jodie ... I think M&S also use Visa, but LloydsTSB issue American Express.

David

HI Jodie,

I bought mine today from Thomas Cook - they use American Express. I had to pay commission though as I didn't book my holiday with them. That's sooo cheeky, they didn't do it last year!

Anyway at least I don't have to worry anymore and I can spend the rest of my money on make up!

Great,
I have'nt got mine yet but going in the week and probably get them from Lloyds because my partner banks with them. Then I wont have to worry and I can spend the rest of my money on shoes, ha ha

I've got 1 week to go, I'm SO EXCITED!
I can't buy any more shoes, I'm taking 6 pairs!

Hi guys,

It def seems to be the place for couples alrite

Ive just been chatting to a girl thats just home from Salou and got sum useful info-

- the day trip to Barcelona is def worth while and if u wana go on the rep tour trip then shop around for tickets as sum were 40 euro while others were bout 22 euro
- kiss is a great club for our age group
- theres a fab all u can eat chinese down at the beach front with nice wine and food
- there was no complaints of mosquitoes - thank god
- and she says that big brother can be found on in the English pubs over there
- theres a fab firework display in the theme park every nite

Im getting sooo exited now!! We're staying in the caribe resort beside the theme park. cant wait!

It sounds great, lots to do. I highly recommend going to Barclelona as have been there before when visted Lloret de Mar in the north of Spain and it was absolutly brilliant, especially Nou camp stadium home of Barcelona Football ground.
Really excited now, week and a half to go!!


Purple Star,
You're just as bad as me. I've counted eights pairs, he he

I recommend the Barcelona Fountains too, I saw them on a trip to Santa Susanna - really romantic, a couple who were staying at our hotel got engaged - he got down on one knee in front of the fountains! so sweet!

Jodie - 8 pairs? I'm impressed! I'd love to take more but I've a horrible feeling my case is too heavy already & my 5kilo hand lUggage allowance is taken up with my make up case! LOL
