    FWIW, the Post Office and M&S work as Photome suggests, (no direct exchange from one foreign currency to another foreign currency is possible). Can't help with your particular retailer though.

    thanks :) I might just wait until we arrive abroad and change directly from EUR into AED... makes it a bit easier that way :)

    back to Vegas chat now... I wanna go back! :D

    Greetings from Tuscany Suites. We got in yesterday evening after a long and uneventful flight. Didn't do much at all last night, we were so tired. Had breakfast at Ellis Island this morning. $5.99 steak and eggs to set us up for the day.

    It's lovely to be back.

    We might have walked past one another, I had the breakfast steak special in rhe Tuscany this morning:rotfl:
    So is the one at EI better, I see it's cheaper?
    The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.

    Haha Stoneman. Maybe we did. We were at EI just on 6am, not sure how much the Tuscany one is, but Tony prefers the breakfast potatoes at EI. We will eat a Tuscany a few times this trip I expect.

    How about Monday for a meet in Stir? Whatever suits you really, because we are here for a while.

    Had a goods night gambling at Palazzo last night. Started off poorly, Tracy getting grumpy because no matter what machine she went on it ate her money. I sent her on her way with her last $5 while I played Wolf Run and hit a streak.
    Pulled out after getting $100 up to find her sitting at Treasure something with big grin on her face. She was now sitting on $200 up from $5. When it went cold she moved onto dragons rising, 3 spins at 55 cents and hits $350!
    So we spent $60 in total and came away $600 up

    See you tomorrow at 6pm.

    I just saw Tracy's pictures on facebook. Nice wins for both of you by the sound of it. Keep up the good work. Between you two and Ferf, you will get photome's money back to the UK somehow.
