British Pound Breaks Through $2
 

Here's hoping all you-all from the UK bring your pounds to the U.S. We'd love to have you come visit this Summer.

The pound is stable for quite some time now, as are most other major currencies. Strange :D, maybe there's something wrong with the USD?

It all depends!Vacations in Europe are going to cost more for USA travellers. European travellers to the USA will need less money! One great idea is now in play; USA debts actually are becoming easier to pay! There is no problem with money value in the USA. A cloud may be the hint of inflation. This is the year for Americans to travel internally. Compare USA hotel prices with EU ones.

So your UK airport ransom is $80 today - enough to pay for a train to Paris so you can fly home from there.

Sounds to me like a "free" trip to The City of Light! (Makes one wonder if the Tories considered the Law of Unintended Consequences.)

Sadly we haven't had a Tory governement for 10 years old chap - the current rabble are Labour.

Yet the tourists still flood into London...

So what's good to buy in NY - assuming I can find a cheap ticket?

AF - you walked into that one!

AR:

On a two-hour trip to the US yesterday I bought a watch for $10 at 3.05 pm, having left mine at home while rushing to catch the train.

It stopped working at 10.55pm.

But it'll still be right twice a day.

it was $2.80 when i first went to England.
