7/18/2010 Mickey's Baltic Ballyhoo!! Part 3

[Andrew DEREK UK]

Too bad Andrew isn't the Earl of Sandwich so we could all get free sandwiches at the restaurant at DTD.

Nice, BLT please.

If rates keep dropping you might have surprise guests for Joshua's Bar Mitzvah..
Seriously - if it hits 1:1 I'm on a plane to the UK to play tourist. Meanwhile, I'm slowly buying up pounds for the pre-cruise visit.
Don't worry - as Andrew has so often said, the dollar is sure to drop - it's value is absurd.

I think its going to be discussed this weekend, whilst there are advantages to having a low rate for our economy, long term is will cause a lot of issues.
Currently we are the bargain shop of Europe so thats good as people are coming in to buy in our shops, but if we have to import thoose the price will go up.
The thing is a high $ will hurt the USA in the long term, imports will be cheap and exports expensive so hurting USA Jobs.
My back was very bad yesterday but has a slight improvement today.

How much extra is the bank charging for dollar to pound?

Now it just got better.

Muy simpatico!

 

[RJAYL]

At least they agreed with just about everything.
Anastasia builds in extra travel time so it is possible to be at a venue longer than is listed on the itinerary.

Hey I thought I was included? Vas is los?

Don't know if this is useful for any of you lot but there is a company called fairfx (www.fairfx.com) and on their website you can buy a pre-paid Mastercard and then just load it up whenever you want. I think it cost a little to purchase it but after that there are no charges for using it to pay for things as you are paying in the local currency, only for using it at an ATM to withdraw cash. There are a lot of us UK folks use it when we come over to the US but it might be a good way for you lot to buy a few £s and EURs now at a good rate. You may need to get 2 cards though, 1 for the £s and 1 for the EURs.

One track mind?!?

Now you owe Izzi (or her DH) a drink or 2 for calling you a 'young man'.

U have a one track mind!

At least I have a mind to be on 1 track.

 

[RJAYL]

Dont worry be happy with the way the financial news is lately I would say we are in for a long term period of financial instability!

If the US fed keeps spending money like drunkin sailor's in Liverpool it will not be long before Inflation sets in then they will raise Interest rates which will cause stagflation!

Very Scary! Thats why we are all heading to the coffee house's in Amsterdam & Coppenhagen!

 

[RJAYL]

One track mind?!?
At least I have a mind to be on 1 track.

Do you have anyone to vouch for U ?

And yes I have written notarized affidavits!

 

[jilljill]

That's ok, I had to search the site to find it and it wasn't easy. I was going to order one for DD for her trip this summer, oh well. I did bookmark it since they said they will open it up to int'l customers and I'll just keep checking. I just wonder if there's a card like that available here with such good rates.
