Is the currency exchange rate going to effect your travel plans?
1.00 EUR = 1.46752 USD
Was looking forward to a nice trip to europe next year but now not not so sure.
Anybody else in doubt too? This is getting ridiculous!!

I had my friend from Germany visit me a couple years ago and asked me to change his Euro to $. Lucky I held on to about 1K Euro to date.
But you are correct. I just got back from Seoul, Korea and the Korean won is now stronger than the $. It was 1 to 1 just earlier this year.

It's good that I only plan to travel within the mainland US next year and just done my Nice-Ibiza-Barcelona trip last September. Hopefully, the US dollar stabilizes asap since I already have plans to go to Brazil/Argentina/Chile in 2009.
I'm stoked that the ZAR (South African Rand) stays very weak to the American dollar. Everytime I go back to South Africa I live like a king, especially when it comes to ordering rounds of drinks over and over at bars.
1.00 USD = 6.51249 ZAR
We're planning on going to Ibiza next September though and I'm hoping that we won't get raped hard by the exchange rate.

My friend just visited from England and he couldn't believe how far the US dollar had fallen. He was living like a king out here!

I'm still thinking about going in December, and the exchange rate is killing me.
Ugh, the dollar is just getting worse and worse... and no end in sight.

Europeans must be investing in the US Capital Markets like crazy.
