Ivory Tower Squabble EST 2011. WINDMILL SURVIVOR
Personally, I'd be lost without my Debit Card. Beats the hell out of writing checks and having to come up with cash every few minutes.
I always always have cash. I have to guess that even when I am in Disney I pay for about half of my purchases with cash. Expensive dinners or purchases I'll use a credit card or debit. When any of us fly out of town it is the standard trip to the bank where I also break down money and get my share of $1, $5, $10 & $20's. I try to have tip money in advance for skycap, bus driver, bellhop, housekeeping.
When I checked into our resort our luggage would be delivered later so I left a tip on table and a note that it was for our bellhop. He drew me a cute picture and a thank you along with his name. Next to it was also a tip for housekeeping, I ordered a blanket cause I knew my DD would not be warm enough with how low I crank the a/c these days. They too left a thank you. I go through a lot of cash on the first and last day of a trip.
