I know there was recently a post about watching the Euro and I saw this chart today, so I thought I'd share. Based on this; it looks like it may be rising slowly?

and from xe's website
maybe it'd be wise to book when you can now?
Re: Euro going up?
i got my euro for wednesday last week. it's still WAY lower than when we went in sept/oct of 2010 and sept/oct 2008. it seems downright cheap now
i agree-if you book and pay for the hotel now and it goes up you'll save a ton.
Going to Europe next year- do you think it's too early to get USD converted to Euros now?
I just called my bank and 1 Euro =$1.3779 USD
I put a deposit on an apt over the wknd via paypal and was given rate of 1EU = $1.32 USD.
According www.xe.com; it's 1EU to $1.30 right now. (I think it was $1.27 last night wk)

That's what my local Chase bank told me. I am calling US Bank now...
eta: I can't book anything now since we don't know for sure when we're going, but would it be wise to convert my USD to Euros for spending $?
oh hell yes. do it now. yes-just my local bank. and 2 months away-absolutely. if you see it trending upwards then do it!
sure. if it goes up and you got them now they'l be cheaper than later. i mean it's not going crazy but if you ahve to get 600 worth of euro then it adds up even if it's just $.10 here and there per dollar you know?
Bizarre. I called Chase during lunch and was told $1.3000...so I went ahead and booked our Paris to Barcelona flight!

(Obviously it has its advantages of getting euro now: exchange rate, avoid debt withdrawl fees and foreign transaction fees; but I don't want to have too much cash on hand?)

well debit withdrawl fees aren't really that bad if you take out a chunk at a time-like here, but my bank charges one flat fee no matter how much you exchange at the same time. i'd say maybe 200-300 in euro and then as much as your hotel balance would be. one less thing tow worry about later
