If you think the the economic crisis in the US was hard, it hit Iceland with a wallop last year making the U.S. Dollar strong against the Icelandic Krona. It's an incredible value destination with exchange rates nearly three times what they were last year.

The favorable exchange rate means that you can often find hotels and meals up to half the price they were a few years ago, according to The Lonely Planet Top Destinations for 2010 guide.
