Hi Nancy, My travel agent, Ginny Dutra, told me to use ATM, they are in Ponta Delgada. Just to be safe I ordered Euros from my bank, although that is the expensive way to go. I'm leaving for Sao Miguel on June 7th from Oakland. You wouldn't happen to be on that same flight would you? Iris

I am planning a trip to Sao Miguel and need some practical advice. Specifically, I need to know if I can count on having access to ATM machines in Ponta Delgada. I'm reading that travelers' checks are not convenient to use. I would prefer to take a small amount of American cash and plan on withdrawing money from my account in Euros for everyday expenses. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Nancy -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to azores+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. Follow the confirmation directions when they arrive.
