My Summer Sun Travel Security Conundrum!

    I was going to post this in the Holiday Forum but they all have fancy trips organised and probably paying with credit card and hence my problem.
    Bascially me and the OH are going on holiday, flying out from Cork on Monday 11th June at 6.30am to Malaga. Very good you might say but I’m worried because, because of the recession we decided to cut up our credit cards last week and have to carry a large amount of cash to pay for our 2 week holiday.
    I’m worried because I don’t know where I will hide it, I could put it in the big red bag with pink bubbles or I might even hide it in my now holiday traditional Straw hat, or could hide it on my person strapped under my Chelsea goalkeepers jersey, you know the yellow luminous one.
    Anyway, all suggestions welcome. Thanks in advance. Lando.

    Have you ever experienced problems on a sun holiday?

    Get a prepaid mastercard. There are loads available.

    Leave it in you atm card and draw it out as needed.

    I always carry my cash in the inside pocket of my jacket.
    Mind you, I probably looked a right eejit wandering around the Philippines in the 40 degree heat wearing shorts and sandals and a big blue raincoat..

    Sunburn.

    If you have a spray on cream, rub it in after you spray.

    2 week holiday, credit cards, cash, premier league football tops?

    No recession in your house!

    :p

    Stick it in your jocks, it has the added bonus of helping you fill out that banana hammock a bit better

    try barter your way through the holdiay... wash dishes, hand jobs ect ect, whatever gets the food on the plate and drink on the table :)

    What the hell? Just use your Laser cards. It's silly to bring cash to a Eurozone country.

    Unless you're trolling, that is...

    Keep it down the front of the missus' jocks, then you can grab a feel every time you go to the shop/bar

    What possessed you to divulge so much information :confused: You could have just said you are going on holidays & need information on where to store your cash
    /and leave it there

    instead of informing everyone who reads this about your airport, date, time, flight & that you'll be carrying a vast amount of cash in your possession!

    Give it to the other half to put in her handbag then if it get's lost you can blame her

    i dont think they do actually, not 100% on that though!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 43 dogyworld1


    give it to me , dont worry il make sure you get it over their :D

    Shove it up yer hoop is always a good option I find.

    But maybe ask your wife to swallow it all squeezed inside some condoms and then feed her laxatives when you arrive at your destination.

    "Mom! Can I get this bucket and spade?"
    "Hold on darling, Mommy just has to go to the bathroom for a few minutes."

    Get a debit card?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,743 ✭✭✭funk-you


    Just lodge it in your bank and withdraw with your card when you're there. You can obviously use a computer so I assume you're not living in 1928.

    It's a trap of some description, not sure what.
    But I think the cops knew internal affairs were setting them up
