>In my experience I have always been able to pay with a credit card, so take your plastic and good luck! Oh and I never pre-arrange. There are ALWAYS plenty of cabs to choose from at the airport, eager and waiting to put your plastic to use.

Two of us trying to communicate in a language we both barely knew was a riot. Took her 10 minutes to tell me to answer the phone in the room when she called me.

>>I'll be arriving Tuesday evening at a different time, but I'm curious: Were you able to pre-arrange that cab with a credit card? I'm assuming cab driver accepts only cash in the car? Is it becoming obvious that I rarely travel <g>?
