BEWARE of Bookings.com they are not security minded. Mrs.Dweller and I just returned from two weeks in London and Barcelona. Bookings.com had sent out via E mail our personal credit card information complete with Expiration date and the three digit security code on the reverse side. Also be informed that the "Telebancos," and as the Brits call them "Hole in the Wall" the receipts from them, have all information printed on them, complete with entire credit card number and expiration date, and name. This morning the Desert Dweller called the banks that issued the cards, and they canceled the cards and are issuing new cards.

Booklady will be happy to know that I was not so luck at keeping Mrs. Dweller out of El Corte Ingles in Barcelona on this trip. Harrod's in London was a monetary disaster. Mrs. Dweller did not buy it for one second when I tried to tell her that Harrod's was like Wal-Mart, "yeah right, Diana use to shop there, Wal-Mart's ass."
