I've vacationed in Canada a number of times. I especially love the Maritime Provinces from New Brunswick to Labrador. And I've also been all the way to the Yukon and a few in-betwen.

Some years the exchange rate has been good to me, other years the Canada dollar was strong and the US dollar weak and I just ate it.

I like Canada, and I like the Canadians, so the memories of the pleasant experiences remain while the memories of the money are actually meaningless.

I had planned to go to England, Scotland and Wales for a year in advance. By the time I went, the exchange was one pound to over 1.75 dollars.

I really made out one year in Italy though.

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, and if you aren't playing the investment game and moving your retirement account around, it doesn't really matter. What matters is enjoying the purchases you make with your money.
