Editor's Comment

Avoid paying for any thing in dollars because it comes out more expensive. Change your money at the airport and pay in cedis. A personal must visit site is the Cape Coast Castle. I had a mind blowing experience of the effect of slave trade of Africa there. Ensure you go with about =N=100,000, if staying for about a week for two. However, if you don't plan buying so many gifts, =N=70, 000 will swing it for a week's stay. If you have honeymoon ideas, please mail your suggestions and advice to editor@nigerianweddings.net
