Hi guys,

I just ordered my currency from Crown - got $1.6275 which I thought was not bad considering.

It's due to come on Monday 14th Sept - we travel on 16th so here's hoping no glitches.

Can anyone tell me if it's the regular postie who will deliver or will it be delivered by van.

Thanks,

SimbaSimon

It'll be sent special delivery and is treated securely while processing through royal mails delivery system. On delivery its normally handed over to the normal postman who has to sign to say he has possession until its delivered.

I'd imagine these would take priority though if the postmen were to strike and would be delivered by alternative means. If they aren't delivered next day as specified by Royal Mail the sender can claim back the funds for the postage (approx £4 for each special delivery), and royal mail won't want that to happen.

Criss Angel is in Believe...but from all the terrible reviews I have read the consensus is that if you like Mindfreak, you will most likely not like Believe as they are nothing at all alike.

To be honest, the reviews are so bad that I am really almost curious to see the show and see for myself...part of me thinks it can't be THAT bad, and yet the reviews are quite consistent in this respect.

Yes, it will come by Royal Mail Special Delivery which you have to sign for. If you're not in it will be taken back to the sorting office and they will leave you a card to go an pick it up.

I've usually asked for mine to be delivered on a Wed and, as we both work, we go and pick it up on the Saturday. However, if I was ordering again, I would ask for it to be delivered on a Monday as I've read a couple of times of people asking for a Monday delivery and it was actually delivered on the Saturday so you may be lucky.

I haven't ordered currency this time as decided just to go with the flow and get the rate at the time.

Not a Bad deal for the Rio, they have of course the bus across to Paris/Ballys and Harrahs
(But this does not say passes per day for the length of your stay, it just says two passes!- so check!)

The free shuttle between Bill's and the Gold Coast/Orleans will be stopping on 14 September.

We used it every trip to visit the Cortez Room at the Gold Coast. We will probably now take the shuttle to Rio and walk across.

Did you say that you liked Origin of India? There is a $50 certificate here for $19.95 along with some others for Vegas.

Really ?
Didn't hear anything about that whilst we were there this week. Where did you hear that Luci ?

Arrived back this morning-got upgraded from JFK to Heathrow but they faffed around so long serving dinner I only slept about 2 hours which kind of defeats the object of business class to me
