I'm currently in England and my bank statement is bleeding. Everything costs what I would expect it to cost in dollars but then when I look at my credit card statement or my account, it has cost me twice. A Starbucks coffee is around £3 but it actually costs me over $6! The dollar is absolutely pitiful right now. It is embarrassing as an American. I just have to pretend a £ is a £ is a £ and forget that it is actually $2 or I'll just worry and be a cheapskate the whole trip. :) It’s painful!
