My Disaster Recovery (DR) Plan

Having discussed my money strategy last post I realised that I had left the topic only half covered.  Here's the other half.

Currency affairs

The money game.  Happens every trip.  I buy a foreign currency, the Aussie dollar rises against that currency.  I hold off buying, the Aussie falls like a stone.  This trip is no different.  I bought some Euros and the Euro sank.  I held off buying some US dollars because the rate wasn't right, and the US dollar rose against the Aussie until I bought at a mildly disadvantageous rate, after which it sank again as fast as it had risen.  So while the topic stings, here are my money thoughts.
