Default Is it expensive for Americans to travel in Australia??

On the other hand the current ratio may be the best you will have
for ten years.

A notch or two down-market with a better cost-stress ratio
is often more relaxing than last-cent budgeted luxury.



I dare to repeat something I've spouted a few times here, on the topic
of
currency exchange rates, interest rates, and housing prices: if you
can
predict these with any accuracy, go to work for the RBA and write your
own
ticket. They pay people heaps to guess wrong, as do most central
banks.

As far as travel goes, even 10% - a huge difference in currency terms
- will
make a difference of only a few hundred dollars in all but the most
upscale
or long-term travel plans. Fugedabudid. If you're that tightly
budgeted,
hang in there until you can truly enjoy your travels.

RAB (who is eternally glad his five-figure, 2001 4.5 month expedition
in
Australia was when the AUD was CAD0.75, not a little above par).

is
coverage (yeah, right!)) and a Telstra Phone Away card to send/tell
"We're not dead yet!" messages to the poor souls back home.

So Richard, *if* you're reading this: Get the

insert_hot_place out
of that Internet cafe and back into the real world!

Frank, and Peter:

Well, as you noticed, I was completely silent for the entire two
months
:-)

I had the option, many times, to drop into an internet cafe but
resisted
(mainly I didn't want to know how badly Stanford did in the college
baseketball playoffs, which I just found out were *very bad indeed*.


Anyway, I'll eventually get back in the mix and describe my terrific
vacation. As of now, we're still unpacking.

fairly pricey. (Before you ask, *no* I didn't chow down on a
Kangaroo
steak, not at $25.90 :-)

Bloody oath, 'roo filet was something like AUD $5.00 a kilo, give or
take,
at the Port Augusta Woolies in 2001/2/3. Mmmmmmm......
