I think it's amazing that with the high interest rates and high unemployment in Europe the people haven't rebelled! Maybe this whole thing (election) shows something's gotta give! Double digit unemployment is rather alarming!

1.00 EUR
= 1.23030 USD
Just now on xe.com. See figures in above posting . Euro rising in value already?
Anyway, there will be frequest fluctuations over next few weeks I expect..
Add me to the list of bad, selfish, egocentric tourists whose first thught was "Yipppeee!" When last in Europe,in 2002, I think the Euro to USD was 1:1.

xyz123 - I, too, enjoyed your info on cellular. This is meant to be helpful - Regarding your comment on editing posts : Some people use the "preview my reply" button to the left of the "post my reply" button to edit posts.

It is interesting, isn't it, that the so-called "fall of the Euro" apparently has little or nothing to anything that the U.S. is doing....but I susppose the real point of the post comes from xyz123"s own unforgettable words: "...there really is no sense in worrying about it..."

Better to call it a "correction"...
Actually do remember the original target rate for the euro was €1 = US$1.17 and then it plumeted as low as US$0.80 before its rise to whatever.
All kidding aside (and my original post was really meant in jest as were the subsequent ones) Ira is the one who's right; currencies go up and they go down in a cyclical nature. Whether this is the down cycle that American travellers have been longing for, only time will tell.
What will be interesting to see is the reaction of the Bush administration as they have tried to push the idea that it is no big deal anyway and the higher value of the euro would ultimately be good for the US balance of trade which hasn't improved one bit with the higher euro anyway.

iloveitaly ~ there are a number of currency conversion websites - this is a good one as it lets you see conversions at any rate you choose:
http://www.oanda.com/convert/classic
It is showing the Interbank rate to be 1.52+ CAD to 1 Euro
