Nice post Paul. I can identify with that very easily. My better half is from the U.S. and we often travel there to visit friends and family, and have for close to 25 years. There was a time, not long ago, when it was acceptable to take the loss on the exchange rate to go south, as you could easily get most, if not all, of it back by buying goods at much lower prices there. Those days are LONG GONE, to steal a thread handle :). Those productivity numbers never did make sense to me. Regards, Alex
