Okay, we all know that times are tight for quite a few folks these days financially, and when it comes to summer getaways you might be thinking of staying comparatively close to home. Not a bad strategy in most cases, but it just so happens that Summer 2009 is shaping up to be a fantastic time for travel bargains. In fact often when you crunch the numbers and visit the right places, a globetrotting adventure can be less expensive than many domestic vacations. All-inclusive deals are also great for those on a tight budget and low-cost airlines are offering flights for a fraction of what you may expect. So if you are of a mind, you will get some very exotic locales at extremely low rates. Here are our top world travel destination for this summer.
- Goa - At just $11 for a three course meal, Goa was the cheapest destination on the list when it came to eating out. Located on the west coast of India, it has evolved from a backpacker haven into a more mainstream destination over the past decade and, as well as cheap food, it offers beautiful beaches, colourful markets and plenty of exotic wildlife.
- Tunisia - Think Tunisia. Yes sir, North Africa. Tunisia offers year-round sun, exotic sights and glorious beaches. You’ll find plush hotels and spas in which to relax but the more adventurous can take a camel trek in the desert, explore the Roman ruins at Dougga or visit the Star Wars movie locations. That’s right, you can find that droid you are looking for.
- Turkey - Turkey offers some amazing coastline, including Belcekiz beach on the Mediterranean Coast. The area where the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas meet is known as Turkey’s Turquoise Coast, and the coastline is dotted with pristine beaches and inviting resorts. If you tire of all that sun-worshiping, head for Istanbul, which offers famous sites, nightlife that goes on until dawn and some of the best value shopping in Europe.
- Egypt - The chance to visit the Pyramids is excuse enough to visit this fascinating country, not to mention the Nile or the Valley of the Kings, but Egypt also offers year-round sunshine, great beaches and great value for money. Check out the Sharm El Sheik resort, a favorite among western tourists , which offers scuba diving and snorkeling opportunities on the Red Sea Riviera.
- Bulgaria - This Black Sea coastal gem has become a favored destination spot for those in the know, due to their “non-Euro” currency status. 240 miles of of sandy beaches, entertaining nightlife, and thriving coastal resorts such as Sunny Beach. Bulgaria is well worth an investigation.
- Spain - Spain faces stiff competition from Eastern Europe when it comes to value for money but, along with Cyprus, it’s still the best destination for a budget break within the Eurozone.
- Morroco - Morocco wasn’t rated as the cheapest place to eat out but its colourful markets, such as these food stalls in Jema el-Fna Square in Marrakesh, offer plenty of exotic delights that you won’t mind parting with your dirham for. Culture vultures should visit the Imperial Cities such as Fez, Marrakech, and Rabat, while the more adventurous can try their hand at skiing in the Atlas Mountains in the winter, or take a tour of the majestic Sahara by jeep or camel. There are also plenty of beaches to relax on; take your pick of the Atlantic coast resorts of Mohammedia, Agadir, El Jadida, Oualidia, Safi and Essaouira.
- Majorca - The British know all about Majorca, in fact it is the UK’s #1 travel destination. Located on the Mediterranean sea, Majorca is Spain’s largest island. You will find that cheap and cheerful package deals are easy to find.
- Cyprus - Cyprus is the third largest island in the Mediterranean and has plenty of room for all types of holiday, including package resorts on the coast, mountain retreats, agro tourism villages, activity holidays, luxury hotels and ancient historical sites for the archaeologically inclined. Oh my Cyprus has it all, yes this would be a fantastic trip.
Oh yes, you know exactly what I am thinking: Let’s go investigate some travel deals, and go attack that globe!

 The very first time I ever traveled on my own was on JetBlue Airways! It was my first trip by myself to New York City and despite the fact that I was 18, I will admit that I was a little scared. 
Well I have lived to tell the tale and I enjoyed my flight completely. It was fast, comfortable and convenient. I liked the fact that I got my own little television set, the seats while not grand were comfortable and the peanuts are always delicious. Ha!The flight left on time and the price of the ticket was very affordable for my high school allowance budget.
