Dude! I remember buying my ticket to Europe around April and freaking out because I thought I would go bankrupt trying to get around Europe on the dollar. This was at a time when the dollar was basically in a free fall and experts were encouraging Americans to convert their dollars to Euros immediately to avoid devastating losses in value.
My, how a few months change things.
Now, just in time for my European trek, it is the Euro that has been in a free fall, hitting new lows everyday! Today the dollar is trading at about $1.38 to the Euro. That's down from like $1.85 earlier this year! Awesome!
Maybe N.W.A. will reunite for a new single: "Fuck the Euro." Cause that's what I'm singing right now.

At it's highest, the Euro was only at $1.60. This was about two months ago. You might be saying F the Euro, but once you see what inflation has done coupled with the fact that we don't have quite the overrun of Chinese goods that the states has, you'll have to think twice. Shit is still gonna be expensive.
But have a nice trip.
Yeah I realized that after reading more later....THEN I realized once I got there that it wasn't exactly what I expected, especially after Wall Street's meltdown!
