steve_b_wales Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 Well, having just made a booking for a holiday in Egypt next June (hopefully!) I am paying the hotel direct when I arrive. They accept $USD or Euro and at the moment, the best option is $USD. Between now and when I travel, I will be looking for the best rate/s as obviously the better the rate, the cheaper the price. Whatever the rate, I have to find the equivalent of $1680USD. I'm hoping that in the next few months, the exchange rate between GBP and USD will be favourable.

Vince Green Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 Hi Steve how are you and your wife feeling ? Pound is rising against both the dollar and the euro at the moment so hold off for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisheruk Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 Well it’s 1.36$ to the £ now, so it’s heading in the right direction. I remember getting 1.58$ sometime ago. Here’s hoping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We missed out on our two holidays this year, so hopefully, we can get away in 6 months time. 13 minutes ago, Vince Green said: Hi Steve how are you and your wife feeling ?

Our 10 day quarantine ends today, although we don't intend venturing out anywhere. I've still got breathing problems, albeit I'm getting better.

henry d Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 We use a card, Halifax iirc, they charge the daily rate for whatever currency we tell them to charge. Worked well in Spain and you can set it up to be paid in full every time. Unfortunately it's been at zero for 14 months 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
