I was visiting kidscantravel: Travel wise and found this great article on getting the most out of the dollar.
"A trip to the United States has to be a top contender for European families this year. Having depreciated nearly 30% versus the Euro since February 2002, even a slight rise in the value of the dollar would not dampen its appeal. The above holds true for budget conscious travelers and luxury seekers alike. Resorts and activities that once seemed out of reach now look to be a steal.
Families looking for something "off the beaten path" may want to consider Washington State rather than Washington D.C., New Mexico rather than New York City or Chicago rather than Boston.
For dollar holders disinclined to stay home, much of Latin America continues to offer value. China may also be worth considering, before its' currency revalues significantly. For those resolute on traveling to Europe this year, Slovenia and Croatia are both reasonably priced destinations notwithstanding the appreciation of their currencies.
If you are unwilling to renounce that dream vacation in the tropics, several locations in the Indian Ocean, including Mauritius, Madagascar and Mozambique, are excellent land and sea destinations. Alternatively, if you are looking for a different ocean altogether, Hawaii, Mexico and Costa Rica are great family-friendly destinations. "
