| I knew it....... I told DH that we should have bought some American money when the dollar was at par for our trip. We put our deposit down when the dollar was .98 to the American dollar.....paid in full when it was .97(this was just last week)......now the dollar is at .84 to 1 American dollar. This stinks.....it is gonna cut into all the extras we wanted to do this trip.

| I also understand how you feel. I still want to exchange some CAN $ to US $ and I just don't know when to do it. I'm hoping it will come back up a bit before we leave.

| Here's hoping it will strengthen again in the five weeks you have before your trip.

| I paid our trip off end of August when it was .94 and yesterday (whew!) exchanged spending money for our next trip and for my Bday trip in January. Just wish I could have paid the balance of my January trip before now. Now I'm really wishing for a January discount!! The exchange rate will curb my hoping "over the river" to shop.  |

| I know that feeling too. Try $1.70 to £1 - it was $2 six months ago.

| Hi, I think the cnd. $ will get stronger after the election on the 15th. If it does not our family will have some serious choices to make as well. Good luck to all of you! Nalagh

| I am so ticked off that I didn't pay off my Jan trip and get my spending money a few weeks ago!!! The Canadian dollar really tanked in the last couple of weeks but I think I will wait a little while longer and hope that it makes a little bit of a recovery over the next month or so....what to do what to do |
