I found my card companies to be much more strict than previously, and had to make calls three times while trying just to book hotels in France with my card, from home.<br /><br />I am surprised, in this day and age, that you have to physically go in to the agency to sort this out. Wow. I'm curious now, so please fill us in on what happened!<br /><br />JudySeine Judeet (Judith)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07407353544376132484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-55454010350021771952017-10-31T10:38:59.857+01:002017-10-31T10:38:59.857+01:00The first photo is absolutely lovely.

For certain online purchases you will be sent a 6 digit code to enter before the transaction will go through.
