The Dollar is Falling - Where should I go?

For those of you who have been thinking of a European vacation, but finding prices are thru the roof due to the strong Euro, I have one word: CRUISE

Since cruises are paid in Dollars, and include your transportation, hotel and meals, you can avoid most of the weak dollar problems.

And European cruise offerings have exploded in the past few years, with many new and exciting iteneraries from the Eastern Med, with trips to the Black Sea, Turkey, Greece and Croatia, to Western Med with more traditional ports in Italy, France and Spain. Most Med cruises include overnight stays in ports like Venice and Barcelona, allowing plenty of shore time to see these cultural capitals.
Also, Northern Europe is becoming more popular, with dozens of cruises from England, Germany, Holland, and Scandinavia. Most of these include an overnight stay in St. Petersburg, one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

Also, if you don't want to cruise, you might try ARGENTINA. The Argentinian Peso is still pegged to the dollar, so food and hotel costs are remaining steady, and it is a truly beautiful country with thousands of miles of coastline, dramatic Andes mountain hiking, and touring, and modern vibrant cities.
