While you have to admit the recession sucks, there are some positive results.  One is that travel, if you can afford it, can be relatively cheap, depending where you go.  Either airfares are down, or the local currency is sagging so everything once you arrive is discounted.  Here are a few locations you should think about taking advantage of before the recession ends:

  1. Hungary - Roundtrip airfare: $593
  2. Sweden - Roundtrip airfare: $700
  3. Poland - Roundtrip airfare: $740
  4. Colombia - Roundtrip airfare: $360
  5. Brazil - Roundtrip airfare: $540
  6. United Kingdom - Roundtrip airfare: $680
  7. Russia - Roundtrip airfare: $780
  8. Norway - Roundtrip airfare: $740
