Thanks to all who came to the PRIDE meeting today - hopefully you found some of the info useful. If you missed the meeting, we discussed hotels, spending money, Florence and the departure date.
As promised, here are some links to useful sites - look to the left to find more links in the Tour Related Info section.
Currency:
I've put a currency conversion calculator on this page. Scroll all the way to the bottom to find it.
The rules for purchasing or exchanging foreign currency vary from bank-to-bank, so you'll have to have you parents look a little into this. I know that MSU Federal Credit Union will sell foreign currency with a few days notice, but there is a fee.
Generally speaking, the easiest approach for overseas spending is to use an ATM card that is linked to a checking account - I'll make this the main topic of an upcoming meeting, because there is a lot to know about this.
The cruise:
I think that this is the cruise company that will take us from Genoa to Barcelona. More to follow on this.
Passports:
Be sure that you get your application for a passport taken care of ASAP. You will need to bring this to a meeting in March.
Videos:
This is an ok tourist-created video that gives some pretty good views of what we'll see in Florence.
