I have had a rotten 12 months and I want to go travelling. I am on a budget. Where should I go?

I can go away for an indetermionate amount of time because i am retired but I am a young 45.

My budget is $2,000 a month for everything (accommodation, food, travel, general)

Where should I go?

I have had a crappy year following a bitter break-up and need to get out of town for an extended
period of time

If I were you and in your situation I would go to either south beach or miami beach. They're both beautiful places with tons of single sexy women and lots of sun. The flight shouldn't you more than $500 round trip but if you look around at the right places you could probably find one around $350, which fits your budget. And on top of that there's lots of sight seeing to do Florida.

I would say it depends on how you want to travel, how good of a hotel you want and what your lifestyle is.

I would disregard Europe right now (assuming you are a US resident), because of the high value of the Euro.

Try South America or Asia. The dollar will get you farther than in Europe, although you may have to initially pay more for transportation.
