to pay for all your accommodation on arrival, that way if the $ drops again, it won't change the cost of room rate, thats what happened to us 10days ago, were quoted 120US++ nightly then they converted to Rupiah and when the dollar dropped up went the room rate accordingly for about 4 night (up200,00Rp per nite) Most hotels on their statements add accommodation to your account on a daily basis, in my case had I paid on arrival, what ever happen with the Aussie $, wouldn''t have affected me, Not sure if the $ went up how quick the hotels would pass it on to you!
