We took the taxi last year. It's not really all that expensive,
but you do need to watch out that you don't get ripped off it
seems.

Last year we payed twice as much for the way from the airport
to the hotel, than the other way around.

Compared to what you'll have to pay in Birmingham, it's a no-brainer
and I got ripped off there as well, again going from the airport
to the hotel - looks like a systematic problem :-).
