    How will the falling dollar effect your travel plans

    Just wondering how the falling dollar will effect your travel plans - if at all ? In our case, as we need to book and plan up to 12 months ahead, we just bite the bullet and get on with it and console ourselves by averaging the cost over the last few years. Perhaps not sensible but makes me...
