I was wondering if anyone would have any suggestions for honeymoon locations other than the USA that myself and my fiance could go to - getting married in Sept 05 - to take advantage of the good exchange rate ?
 
Hi TeeDee

Can't really see Tehran or any other Middle East countries being very high on a Honeymoon list.

The best bets are:
Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, and most of the Far East. The Euro has risen against the USD by 8.78% against this time last year. It's up 5% against the Yen.
It's up 14% against the Malaysian.
It's up 10% against the Singapore.
and 12% against the Hong Kong.
 
Re: re

It’s not clear from your question if you have a stack of US dollars that you want to spend on your honeymoon in a non-US country that uses dollars (e.g. Liberia?) or do you want to take advantage of the current high value of the euro? If it’s the latter think of South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, China, etc. i.e. almost anywhere except the UK or euro countries. The exchange rate with these countries is good, not because they are pegged to the US dollar, but because the euro is high relative to almost anything else except sterling, so, to benefit for the euro’s high, go anywhere except the euro zone or the UK. (And don’t book via a UK travel agent that will bill you in sterling).

Ecuador uses Us dollars only
Cambodia also
 
Re: re

I suggest the following page for info:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_dollar

A few nations outside of U.S. jurisdiction use the United States dollar (USD) as their official currency. These nations include Ecuador, Palau, East Timor, Panama, the British Virgin Islands, and the Federated States of Micronesia.

Since I have wikipedia in my firefox I start becomming addicted to it.
