Money Money Money!!!

Not sure how many of you had the chance to read the post of Chris trying to call the bank. It's here if your haven't yet.... Well, we've learned a very costly lesson! DO NOT USE CREDIT CARD PAY PHONES FOR ANY REASON! I won't horrify you with the actual cost's involved, but whatever your thinking triple it (or just calculate about 10$ US a minute).
A word of advice from someone who has paid the price... use Skype It's a free download, and you can call skype to skype for free. Also, the charges for long-distance is very very reasonable (around 2 cents per minute). The only thing you need is internet connection. Now please, We do not get commissions for skype, but everyone we know that has it, loves it.
If you do travel, just get it. It will save you hassle's and money.
