The GFC could be said to now stand for Good Fair Costs for travellers.

Yes, if you ever thought "I wish I could travel, but it costs too much" or if you felt "My budget has got tighter so I'll have to put off my travel plans", then the good news for you is "Go shopping now!"

Prices for travel and accommodation have come down, and may even come down a bit more.

Hotels, motels, B&Bs, airlines, destinations, attractions - they're all feeling the pinch.

For things like airlines and car hire, they have the double whammy of lower patronage and higher fuel costs, but they are still finding their industries getting more competitive.

The winner is you - the consumer, the traveller, the tourist.

So where would you like to go, and where would you like to stay?

Obviously, staying in the country avoids any air travel, meaning that cost and the overseas flying time. If you are thinking of travelling within the US, local attractions are as pressed as overseas, and as keen to discount. There is certainly plenty to see closer to home.

When you decide where you wish to go, there are then easy ways to check out where to stay. The best is to hear from others who have already been there, and this is a simple procedure. The appropriate area to look is review sites.

When you see these sites, don't be put off by there being a few negative comments. If there is someone who wasn't happy, read what they didn't like and compare it to all the other comments. In fact, if there is nothing wrong, you may wonder if the reviews have been censored.
