expired credit and debit cards
Jan 03, 2013, 11:05 AM

Before you leave make sure that none of your cards will expire. Other half just went to check on their card to make sure that it will work as we only use Scotia Bank for holidays and discovered that it had expires last month. We always check them a head of time as one time I went to use mine and a piece of the stripe was missing so have checked ever since.

Also does anyone know if Arre LuLu's has been replaced yet? It closed right after we left last year. AND is Carlos,(great food) open across the street for the Balboa Tower? Gracias. Only 23 more days.

Arres Lulu is open and Chulitos is the name of the restaurant across the street from Balboa Tower.

Also notify your bank that you will be out of the country!

and if you have to check to see if your cards are still good you might want to check and see if your passports have at lease 6 months before they expire and have a few more open spots available to be stamped.

Arre Lulu is back open??!! Great news! What happened? We didn't even check this trip because it closed soon after we left last Feb/March. Will definitely have to visit again this March as it was one of our best meals last year.

some credit card companies will tell you that there is no need to notify them when you will be abroad. AMEX for one.
