Have you changed your plans given the £/$ rate?

We can afford to go next year if we wanted, but we don’t feel it’s worth the increased cost.

Our decision is based on the above inflation increases in Florida and the exchange rate.

Same here we have been going to the US once sometimes twice a year for over 20 years. We are off to Ikos in Corfu this year AI so no hidden extras and DLP for our 1st visit.

The £ took a small hit today when Boris was chosen, I dont know if it will reduce more, it really depends on his wording around a no deal Brexit.

We need the USA to cut interest rates to hope for a rise in our favour, this could be on the cards end of July but no-one really knows and it would require a large cut to make any real difference.

Nope. Paid in Euros. Don't see the £ recovering anytime soon.

Did it? Interesting. I'm surprised because I thought Boris was expected to win and therefore the markets would've taken this into account. Plus the result now removes any hint of uncertainty regarding who would be the next PM.

It's almost as if the markets react to things as they happen rather than factoring these things in advance.

Boris was expected to win but who knows, everyone expected a no to Brexit in the referendum but looked what happened.

As they say "buy on rumour sell on fact" but we dont know how the markets will react or we'd be millionaires Rodney

I have to get my Dollars soon and I'm just going to buy them some day soon when I'm passing John Lewis.

We don't travel to the States every year - holiday in the UK in between. Paying all elements of our DIY holiday in £s has helped us budget. As for spending we've exchanged a little here and there.

Our first trip we got $2 to the pound which was amazing. This time we will cut our cloth to suit. We are planning to go again 2024 so will take the hit then too.

Get paid in euros so hoping the pound continues to weaken!
