I will be in china for 5 weeks this summer and will take some money over there but wanted to ask what method is best to take?

how about cash? is there is a charge to convert my u.s. dollars to chinese yen or yuan, whatever its called? if so, how much?

or would it be best to take my mastercard debit card? i was told paypal only charges $1 to take out money but that does not include the charges that the atm machines will charge over there.

all answers will be helpful. thanks!

i wonder if anyone can help. i live with my son and my mother in England, all British citizens, but we're considering a move to Ireland. However, my mother is disabled and would be unable to work, and I was just wondering about whether or not she would be entitled to any state support, ie benefits? i doubt it, but if anyone could help id appreciate it. Thanks

Why should the President be a Christian? The Prime Minister a Sunni? Etc... I hope Aoun becomes president. He's the only advocate of secularism in Lebanon.

Hi. I want to go on a trip before college and see a place in California. I want to stay near Hollywood Race track in Inglewood. Can someone tell me a nice town near there (beach side preferably). Here is the problem; don't have a car or a license, so i will need to be in walking distance or train/bus distance. If i knew what area I was staying in I can figure out the transportation issues. Thanks

We have young children, ages 6,4 and 2. Also, we definitely would like access to a pool. We live in Ohio, so they are all pretty convenient for us to get to---location in Ky. is not an issue.

When we stayed at a Walt Disney World resort in 2005, we purchased 10-day, non-expiring Magic Your Way passes with Park Hopper and Water Park. We're returning to Disney World this year, and I think I know how many days remain on each pass, but I'd like to check them online if I can. I've searched all over the Disney web site and via Yahoo and I can't find any way to do this.

Me and my fiance have no clue where to honeymoon at. We dont want to be gone very long, because we have two children at home. But we do want to take a trip for a little more than a weekend.

We live in East Texas. We dont want to spend most of our time traveling. Any where we go will be by vehicle. We love the beach, sports, camping, just about anything.

Do you know of any good places to go for a small getaway?
Some place with a romanitc atmosphere?
But also something that we wont spend an arm and a leg paying for.

premium seats in an airline

2007-06-29 11:25:23 · 2 answers · asked by Anonymous in Air Travel

Southwest Airlines does not preassign seats. They board in groups "A," "B," and "C."

If you are away from home and don't have access to the internet, how do you "check-in" early or do something else so as to avoid being in group "C" and possibly not being able to sit with your kids?

(My kids tell me that they think Southwest is "unorganized" since they don't make it easy for kids to sit with parents. Even United, US Air, Delta, all do that.)

US Airways lost my luggage. They finally paid me - but far less than the value of what was lost and less than the limit of their liability. How can I sue them or take them to arbitration? There was no breakdown of how they arrived at the figure they paid me. Thanks!

We are concerned about the fires over there at the moment-does anyone know which islands and how much of Athens and the airports are affected?
Thankyou.

My wife and I are going to Las Vegas soon and we're a little interested in visiting a topless pool while there. Understanding the fact that I will at least have to pay a cover charge to get in (she may not), are there any pools that allow non-guests of the hotel to go to?
