You're being nicely conservative there, aren't you?
Shall I rephrase a bit? 'The American dollar is
worth'... a LOT more than the Canadian. I speak from
experience here, having just spent a weekend in Rhode
Island and having to mentally add 50% to everything
before I spent any money.

And I AM jumping up and down about your trip, you just
can't see me from there, or else you would notice the
slightly envious green tinge to my complexion!

BTW, you said to let you know when I would be in
Toronto next, on the chance we might get togther. It
looks like I will be there the last weekend in March
and another weekend in late June (March for a
conference and June for Toronto Pride).
