With the strength of the Canadian dollar, consider going stateside, to places like Arizona and Las Vegas, which have buckets to do. If you’re seeking something more exotic, think Central America— Honduras and Panama have great all-inclusive packages. Further south, opt for Peru or Argentina, where your bucks go far and there’s less jet lag involved than trips to Europe. Also consider registering with a travel company like Sunquest, so wedding attendees can give you bucks toward a trip.
