Regarding money, I just kept two 'piles', one in each currency. You don't need a lot of cash. Plastic works and unless you are in a rural area, there are ATMs. The advice about roundabouts was very good. I had forgotten about these. We have them in New England, but not in Pennsylvania, where I was raised. Neither I nor my husband knew what they were till one day we were barrelling up Route 2, exploring New England, when we saw the sign. "What's that?" he asked. "I don't know," said I. Round and round we went and ended up heading back up the way we came. They are more confusing in Ireland since you are on the wrong side and going the wrong way. Why are we trying to make cellphoning while driving illegal and not roundabouts??? Linda Merle
