"with lower fares and a stronger dollar, it's about 25 percent cheaper to take a vacation there this winter than last year, "said Simon Talling-Smith, an executive vice president with British Airways. There, meaning Europe. Also, when taking an escorted tour or cruise, you'll save money because you're paying with US dollars, not the Euro.
And, cruise fares are rivaling the prices seen in the weeks and months following 9/11. Yes, holiday weeks are still high but before/after and in '09 there are some great rates out there. Seen recently - the HAL/Oosterdam - 7 day - RT San Diego $644pp TOTAL, including port charges, gov't. fees and fuel surcharges.
Waikiki - the Hyatt is doing 3rd night free with daily complimentary breakfast buffet for two thrown in - about a $30 value for each breakfast.
Hawaii - the other islands are seeing 4th night free instead of 5th night free
Happy Vacations is reimbursing travelers up to $100 for the cost of checked bags through the airlines.

Bon Voyage!
