So you might not have much money left right now, thanks to the lovely economic situation, but whatever money you do have will go further in Australia! So come visit!
For reasons I don't fully understand (and I'm not really looking for a detailed explanation), the Australian economy is allegedly one of the most stable economies in the world right now (although that's not saying much). However, the value of the Australian dollar (AUD) has plummeted to 40 year lows. When we arrived, the AUD had reached record highs - it was worth 98.5 US cents - almost equal to a US$. (Yes, this is when we transfered most of our money.) Now its value is bouncing around 68 US cents - your money would go almost twice as far! Plus, AU currency is WAY prettier than US currency.
Alternatively, if you don't feel like coming to Oz right now, you could just send us your money. We'll take good care of it...

We talked it over and decided to send you the rest of our money. So when it gets there just steam off the postage because that's all we had left.
