| 433750 | 2006-02-25 08:51:00 | No that is not the final rate, as I stated it depends on the transaction you intend (travellers cheques, cash, transfer etc) . Also there will be a processing fee in some cases . Consult the banks for that, it will be on their websites and I think they all charge about the same . But it is the approximate rate . It will give the relative value if nothing else, so when it drops you realise that you have missed the best time . Since there is no way to know when its going to rise or fall, knowing its relative value is rather immaterial, I have determined . Just when you *think* its at the best rate, how do you know that in a week it will not be better (or worse) . In my view you do the transaction at a time that suits you and take the rate on that day, its not like you can influence it . Do the sums between a cent change in rates, when diluted by bank fees and you will see there is probably only a few dollars in it (unless we are talking hundreds of thousands of $ here) . |

| 433753 | 2006-02-25 20:08:00 | That's sound advice from godfather. Also when you are over there, for most purposes, try to forget what you would be paying in NZ for the same thing, otherwise you will drive yourself crazy. Remember in England, very roughly, people get paid in pounds what we get in dollars. That way, in a perverse way things don't seem that expensive! Have a good holiday |
