Do you know anything about the Caribbean right now? specifically Aruba; we're vacationing there in January.

Thanks

Sorry, don't know much about Caribbean currency. I checked Yahoo finance for the Aruban Guilder, but they don't have a price history of the exchange rate. They just have the current rate, but that doesn't tell you much. What you care about is how high or low it is relative to what it was over the past 1-2 years.

My guess is that the dollar is probably weak relative to the Aruban Guilder. Aruba is a Dutch colony, and hence its currency most likely is tied to the Euro is some way, and I know the dollar is exteremly weak relative to the Euro.

Your best be would probably be places where the dollar is the local currency, like the British Virgin Islands.
