Okay- just to clarify, I'm taking plastic for sure. They're charging me 3% for using it in a Euro-zone, but I'm still totally fine with it. I just figure I'll want some cash for the random croissant or beverage. See, I've done most of my homework. So why did the plane remind me of the House on the Rock?!

I'll be back later to ponder this and other questions. Thanks for any advice, I knew FT wouldn't let me down.
