What's your prediction on the Australian Dollar?

And who indexes the index?

I'd love the role ... after a very short time I could retire ... :p

Well the people in Africa (as an example) who do this find themselves suddenly reluctant to retire. Even when into their 90s.:shock:

Maybe should and could are colliding...

Happy wandering

Motown at a great price in $AUD today thanks Flashback. Gee it is making London so cheap! We could even buy Hotel Chocolat goodies using 12.6% off topcashback rebate.
 
Might just pay a little more off on our cruise then. Week before last I put down a deposit, and then last week I cancelled it. Received back less AUD obviously. :( It was cancelled because I changed TA's and the second one was giving me a much better deal, so rebooked with them. Paid a new deposit, which was a couple of hundred AUD less. I am ahead.

Not with VTG this time?

I must admit that anytime I have cancelled an O'S booking I always seem to come out worse off as the $ seems to always have dipped :(

Not this time, but with an (os) proper TA!. Crystal have excellent refund policies and even Aussie TA's cant charge cancellation fees.

Cant seem to pay off anymore using the personaliser so might set up a debit plan with the TA. Received the contact from someone on CC who emailed me about DVT's of all things! Someone who travels on Crystal, a whole lot!

Crystal :p ball gazing here - is this AUD run going to continue for a while?

And here's me thinking the index is actually the current exchange rate ...

You can laugh at my suggestion but there will be a time when we will have a universal currency that will not be able to be manipulated on a daily basis by greed.

Actually that depends on how large you define your world.

In an inclusive sense, not in our life time.

Or am I wandering

Our world. Not as far as you think.

Did you think 20 years ago they'd be able to track your location to within a couple of metres? We now knowingly provide them with that information.
 
Got a feeling this rally will be short lived... Market has reacted a bit too much to delay in interest rate rises in the USA. Stocks in USA being supported by low interest rates - I think this rally will be short lived.

Realistically are you happy with the rate now? If so why not. I can't see it jumping to 80c by Friday :)

Happy with rate now to where it was 1 month ago. Was hoping it may climb to 27 baht but could also go the other way.

Thank heaven for small mercies.
