I had already paid through expedia, but was charged again (and for more..) upon arrival. This was on top of "incidentals" too.. So after IMMEDIATELY taking the money from my account they said it would returned in 7 to 10 days.. i got a "sorry about that".. I didn't get to do the things i wanted to do on my vacation because my spending money was hijacked for no reason.
