The British Pound bites

86 GBP sounds great, $136 / night sounds expensive. 126 GBP - okay, but for $200 / night I want something other than a pink quilted faux-satin bed cover in a flowered wall-paper room with only an open shower.

Take the amount in GBP & divide by .63. That's your American dollar. At least it's better than the rate in 2006 (I was using a Europe Through the Back Door as a reference) when it was .55. And I'm not comparing us to the Canadian dollar, which we nearly equal these days. I loved traveling to Vancouver & getting a 25% discount on everything!
