Now it's August and we have returned safely from our Ultimate Adventure to celebrate the centenary of Girlguiding. There are so many people to thank and so many memories that we will have for the rest of our lives. We are so grateful to Girlguiding's pioneers for their actions 100 years ago which made our trip possible

Money, money, money......
1. Cash is good but easily lost, stolen and is not generally covered by insurance so plan on only carrying a small amount in a purse you can bury deep in a pocket or backpack. You should get US dollars with ideally no note bigger than $20
2. Travellers cheques (they must be in US dollars) can be replaced, but you often need to carry your passport or other form of ID to cash them and they may not always be accepted in shops
3. Using a bank card means you can draw money out of cash machines (often with a minimum charge) as and when you need it and you can usually use them in shops too (if Mastercard or Visa)
4. You can deposit money with the leaders who will load it onto a dollar card and will withdraw it from the bank for you as you need it
