Why travel in these economic times?

Many reasons.

Less crowded. Warren Buffett was known for saying, “Be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful.” Planes are roomy, rooms are easily available, sites are less uncrowded. Have your destination all to yourself. Half-priced fees are abundant.

Best yet, the dollar buys a lot these days. Not too long ago, for instance, the pound was trouncing our dollar. Not anymore. Many countries have weak currencies in these economic times. More bang for your buck.

And finally, in time of high stress, invest in yourself. Traveling is the best way of escaping our problems and putting them into perspective.
