We took a guess when we came back in late July and bought US$ to cover our next trips Hotel costs which we pay in US$ on arrival.
We decided then to lock in the major costs for our next trip in march.
The A$ will go down and up as per the strenth or weakness in the $us . Nothing we or you can do about it so dont stress . We were lucky and got a very good rate us$0.93 exchange to the au$ but it might have very well gone the other way. Just the luck of the draw and even with the lesser exchange Bali is still very cheap to holiday in.
