Dollars

Any thoughts?

thanks

Just take sterling. If you can be bothered to change into some Lev before you go you might find it useful for tips etc first night, and also, depending on what time you arrive, it will give you some dosh for first night drinks or whatever.

Pat,
If you can get a better rate than 2.65-2.7, then take it with you I bought some Levs from M & S before I went, they gave me 2.707, this was a little better than I got in resort.... you may like to give them a call!
