Euro dropping vs $
Hey Fodorites,
the Euro is going down with relation to the $ by 6 cents...from $1.59 now to $1.53 ! Hope it continues further through September.
April and May 2007 I was paying $1.32 exchange - doubt it will go down that far but it would be nice.
I may wait to book and pay for things online til September to see how it goes.

logos, are you still in America? And trying to panic people into selling you their dollars at a reduced price?
Shame on you, sir!

JDC,
It may be because Andrew Cuomo, NY State Attorney General startd suing the banks and the hedge funds for their speculating - the oil price dropped immediately and for sure they must have been speculating in $ and Euro.
News this morning he forced Citibank to make good with losses to consumers and they agreed to pay a $50 million dollar fine.
Go Andy!

You need to keep it simple, to be understood on fodors
Deutsche Bank is still standing and well, unlike like many other banks in the US.
Pray tell. And just how "many" banks are you talking about?

If you love to travel, you'll find a way no matter what the dollar does. BUT, I'm excited about the small improvement, with a trip to Europe for October. Who knows what it will be by then? We'll just find ways to economize, use FF miles and hotel reward points, and stay away from expensive dinners. As for financial advice and forecasts, I'll leave that for others - even those who claim to know about such things can't seem to get it right for now.
