The ban on travel to Cuba was eased last year, but U.S. citizens are still restricted to visiting the island with a licensed company.

For $2199 per person, including airfare from Miami, enjoy interaction with Cuban residents through planned events in Havana. The package includes one-night hotel accommodations in Miami prior to departure to Cuba, non-stop round-trip airfare from Miami, U.S. Treasury Department license and letter of authorization, Cuban entrance visa, four nights at the historic Hotel Nacional de Cuba in Havana, an escort, all land transfers, 11 meals, and all taxes and entrance fees. Meet with experts in U.S. Cuban relations, visit artists, learn about the Cuban educational system, and meet farmers in the Las Terrazas area. This tour has certain dates in May, June, September, and October. Go to Travelzoo.com for more information and for the link to Friendly Planet Travel. Book by October 31.

Puerto Vallarta has many beautiful resorts, and one of them is offering a four night stay for two adults, all-inclusive, for $1479. "The important to budget travel is to prepare in advance. When it comes to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved trips and/or going to see new spots we have never been before, the fact of expense and budgeting is generally in the back of our mind. Considering and expending our travel budget carefully is a priority for most families. Curbing spending and costs, while still experiencing your vacation to its fullest, is the key to guaranteed achievement and fiscal liability. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thinking behind saving money while journeying is simple: Even if your personal finances is extremely small, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or leaving the homestead! Also remembering that while traveling, no matter whether on a resources or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a huge vacation or travel bill!..". Casa Velas Puerto Vallarta is an AAA four diamond rated resort and a 2012 TripAdvisors Travelers Choice award winner. The all-inclusive package provides meals, non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks, taxes, and service fees. Also included in the package are two spa massages, a romantic dinner on the beach, and a tour of the town of Puerto Vallarta. Fly Frontier direct from Denver to Vallarta and in about 3 hours you'll be ordering a drink on the beach. Purchase your voucher by October 29 from Livingsocial.com for $1496 and travel by December 22. Purchase a voucher for $1596 and travel January 3 through April 30, 2013.
