And it is easy to exaggerate the weakness in the dollar. Not too many
years ago the euro was launched at $1.18. Now it is $1.20. Big deal.


It's incredibly weak against the pound though - at the moment, it's
about GBP1 = $1.75 or so (when I last went to the US, it was about GBP1
= $1.85 - that was at the end of Feb. It made flying almost free of
charge for me... For the last few years, the norm was GBP1 = $1.50)
