Dollar distressed? Recession-proof your travel

excerpt by Peter Greenberg

You know the U.S. dollar is in trouble when a number of businesses in New York City now accept the euro for payment, and when the U.S. dollar is no longer accepted at places like the Taj Mahal in India. In fact, the greenback continues to depreciate against the euro, the Indian rupee, even against the Chilean peso.

A sinking U.S. economy and an increasingly weakened U.S. dollar abroad — is it all doom and gloom for traveling in these touchy economic times? Not necessarily. You need to know — and go — where the dollar is not just strong, but still king. If at all possible, you need to get your trip priced — and then locked in U.S. dollars. You then need to hedge your travel budget against currency fluctuations, and then, once overseas, you need to figure out how to save on mass transit and other attractions, and use your ATM card when you need cash.

First, let's start where the dollar is still king.

Yes, there are still countries and destinations where the U.S. dollar is strong. From the Caribbean and South America to Asia, there's still hope for an affordable vacation...........because its currency has been based on the U.S. dollar; there's also Belize and Panama.....
