And I'm freeeeeee, freefalling...

S and I are getting burned with the Loonie’s freefall. With our Oz trip inching ever closer we thought it was time to get the jump on buying Australian dollars before our own dollar fell too much further. Imagine our surprise when we discovered that most banks don’t keep Aus dollars on hand, unless specially requested. So we have to wait until the weekend before we can horsetrade with RBC, at which time the Loonie will have plummeted even further.

Good for the banks.

Bad for us.
