Laurie you asked about credit card fees - sometimes your credit card issuer will charge a small percentage, around 3%, in addition to the actual charge by the merchant. The fee is a service charge for doing the currency conversion. Sometimes the fee is built into the US$ charge you see on your statement and sometimes it's an extra line fee broken out.
You have to remember that the credit card issuer fee is in addition to fee a merchant/vendor will charge for using your credit card. So that 3% fee the vendor charges could end up being a 6% fee once your credit card issuer adds in their fee.

I have a credit union card that doesn't charge the fee so we use that in ports.

I'd love to see the Mini DVD but don't know how we'd be able to watch it.
Very cool he was at the plant.

If we're really lucky we may get DVD players on the coaches. Alternatively are there players in the staterooms? Don't think the DVD is region specific, but will get DH to check

Andrew or Celestine,
Hoping one of you can give me some advice. We are staying at PP Westminster and will be meeting relatives at Kew Gardens on July 17th. It looks like a fairly simple ride on the tube, but I would appreciate knowing if our travel to and from Kew Gardens would make it worthwhile to purchase an Oyster Card? Reading about the card, it looks like we would each need one with a minimum price just for the card itself of 3 pds st. Description of the card says if you plan on 2 one way trips, you definitely should get the Oyster card. How much would the tube fare from PP Westminster to Kew gardens be? I'm not sure we would use it for much other than that trip but one never can tell.

Thanks,

Westminster to Kew Gardens is a simple journey on the District line, (Richmond service train).

If this is your only journey I would just get a self service ticket at the station if after 9.30am Weekdays or weekends all day its cheaper.

Yep thought you do not get it, our roads, can be Avenues, or crescents, or a close, (often a no through road)

Robert you are on a roll today. Must be too much trip planning and talking about money.

Cat. 1-3 have dvd players in them but not the rest. I can always ask my friends if they are bringing some sort of dvd player or laptop with them to play it on there if need be.
I'm sure we'll figure something out.

We'll have at least one lap top with us that will play advd. (Mine doesn't, it has a Designing Woman dvd stuck in it (hint, hint dear!)) I'd watch the dvd with you!

Thanks for the offer. We'll have to see if the dvd is region specific or not.

Sounds like you need a belated b'day gift.
