Well you and I are both going to Europe and there is one thing going on thats very cool right now for us: The dollar is much stronger against the Euro than it has been in a while. When I was there in 2006, it was about 1.6 USD : 1 Euro, in 2008 it was the same, and now it's 1.3 USD to a Euro, thanks to the economic meltdown. As to how that actually came to be that we had a crisis and yet the dollar got stronger is beyond me, however: Congratulations, we just made 30 cents per dollar

Anyways due to the unpredictable market, this could change any time soon, so I am going to buy a bunch of Euros very soon. It might be in your interest to do the same, could save you hundreds of dollars, and who knows where this situation could lead our currency...
