Hi,
Must jump into the Euro ATM discussion. When we arrived at the Barcelona
airport in late Jan. our 1st stop was the ATM. I put in my bank card &
requested $100usd in Euros. I got 87 Euros! Now we were jet-lagged but I
knew that was a backward conversion! Nobody around to ask. And to add more
injury, the machine magenetized my card or demagnetized it...anyway, it
wouldn't work again &I had to get a new card when I got home. But, I'm one
of those people who also takes enough $$ so I don't have to depend on an
ATM. Foot-note: weeks later when I got my bank statement, the bank had
only charged me $87 for the 87 Euros so I felt a little better. I guess
straight across conversion is better than backwards. 8-(
