vacation locations where the dollar does not suck

The weak dollar is felt not only here in the US, but also for those travelers abroad. Europe is a perfect example of a location where American travelers can easily spend more than anticipated. However, there still are plenty of places where the dollar is still thriving and your vacation funds will not run out on your first day.

1. Argentina- imagine relocating the French Rivera a bit further south and presto! you have Argentina. With its wide variation of chic hotels, great dining and nightlife, this is the perfect getaway for those looking to embrace the good life. Since the collapse of the Argentine peso in 2001, the price are still extremely reasonable for such a swanky location.

2. Latin America- smaller and lesser developed countries such as Panama, Costa Rica, Belize, Nicaragua are luring American tourists with excellent deals taking advantage of their immature currency and national debts. These countries maintain much of their original pristine beauty and many resorts offer great all inclusive stays on their breathtaking beaches.

3. Go Down Under for a real Australian experience. The dollar still fairs well in Australia and if you can afford the flight over, prices are quite reasonable upon arrival. Australia offers such a wide array of vacation opportunities for travelers, it really suits any one's needs.
