Hey everyone,

I've run into a bit of a problem finding new money here in the Denver area. All my bank had was $1. Anyone have any suggestions. If I exchange dollars in Singapore do I have the same issue?

Thanks!!!

Not sure you can get the currency you want but I would not sweat it. The rooms in Bali are $35 d/o and $70 s/o a night. If you just pay in dollars you'll pay a small fraction in exchange fees...less than a dollar by far so not worth the stress.

I will also bring a number of new hundreds and fiftys with me. Kamala

p.s. please don't forget your check books...so we can settle up for the extra nights in Bali. Thanks everyone! k

I got a confirmation from the resort but I have been way to busy to complete and send in the form. Did you send the info in for me? If not I'll try to get it done today.

Also I do want to take Bruce's class so I'll be sending the $100 for the class.

Bruce if you see this are they just standard books for underwater photography? Is it a PADI course?

:thankyou:


Not sure this was replied too but if so...just disregard.

Yes its the PADI class. I will email you the forms you can fill out in advance (I"m sending them to Rosa too!) Get the book and do the knowledge reviews and get the white balance slate pkg.



Ok forms being sent to you too!

If we are arriving on the 6th aren't our rooms in Bali covered in the trip cost? I just trying to figure out how I can have any money to use in Bali if I can't find new bill here in Denver before I leave.....

Correct...sorry I was thinking generically and not specifically to you.

As for money...if you can't find any don't worry you can 'buy some from me'...I'll have plenty extra and since you arrive after I do you should be set.

Thanks Kamala, You are the best! My life is totally crazy these days with my new job and it has been very hard to find time to even get ready for this trip...I'm truly in need of a vacation. See you very soon!

Hey Kamala,
I sent the money for the Photography class and the Nitrox class. Did you get it? Just checking because it is not showing up on the 1st page.
I am so ready for this vacation as I sit and work over the National Holiday here!
See you soon,
Barbara

IMPORTANT REMINDER:

Do not forget your school supplies. We will be giving them to children in Bali...and that will be less weight on the Wakatobi portion of the flight.



Got them.. Need to check my weight :-).

And BTW, if you are still keeping up with milestones, Karen posted earlier that she will make dive 200, I will be making the relatively lowly dive # 150.

I wish!!! Nope, I will be making dive 100 not 200! so you still have me beat, lol.........



Yes, I just realized that. I think I was reading Magarita's post about her possible 200th dive. And I believe Carla also posted that she will make 200!!!

BTW, if we go to any of the monkey temples/ sanctuaries, I have been warned to take nothing on you that the monkeys will grab. Evidently, they even take things like the sunglasses off your face, jewellery off your neck/ ears and can grab your wallet out of your pocket etc. They sound like pretty savvy monkeys to me!! :thankyou:

That's just WRONG! If your username truly indicates where you are working (in China)...I can't believe someone is making you work over the National Holiday!! Even us lowly expat teachers got the National Holiday off when I worked in Guangzhou. File a complaint. Start a petition. Oh yeah, you're in CHINA....never mind!!! :thankyou:

Hey I think you are squared away sans a few paypal fees which I'll collect in Bali. And if you are staying any extra nights...I'll collect that too! Otherwise you should be good to go. kamala
