It will be great when we can actually get $1 for every $1 - so maybe when it is at $1.03 or something
I am sure I am not asking for too much

I've been eyeing the Canon lens 17 - 55 f/2.8. This little beauty is $2000 over here. It retails at $1100 in the US.
Think I've just paid for my NEXT airline ticket!
OMG, you Aussies are soooooooooooo lucky !!!!!!!!
Yeah - happy for you guys - but spare a thought for your poor cousins earning Pacific pesos!! (aka Kiwi $) - we are now down to 76 Oz cents to our $, which is going to crimp my shopping on the Gold Coast in 2 weeks big time! waaaah
But yay for the Kiwi dollar also rising in value against the USD.
I purchased our Travel Cards (Kiwibank Visa Loaded for Travel) yesterday, and put the first USD dollars on them at .741. Way better than our trip in May09 when the rate was .54
I will see how the rate goes in the next few weeks before putting any more on, it's a bit of a gambling exercise isn't it!
