Ah, Adrian, you should be able to get a volunteer to come
with you to get money, if needed, or sometimes staff can
help. One thing you can do is to pay all your bar bill
together at the end of the week, using your card, if you
wish; so you don't have to have too much cash around.
Which of the hotels are you going to, by the way? I trust
you'll have a really good holiday.
