G'day Brett,

You'll just have to think exchange rates without the benefit of Palm Pilot ... no problem currently if you're into math(s) - or technical photography - as you just apply approx. root 2 (~ 1.1414) to everything ... divide Aust dollars by 1.4 and you're about as accurate as it gets.

No hat could absorb a few of those US$s - the local authorites probably don't approve of tourists plaiting their own from the beachfront palm fronds! (But the house will be nice an cool when you get back to Guam ... as long as you don't look at the utility bill!)

See you when you escape the steamy tropics to Sydney.

Regards,

Bob Bolton
