This is a great time to come to the USA for bargain shopping. The exchange rate for the dollar against most other currencies is at historically low levels. That means everything in the USA is now cheaper for foreign visitors. You can come to the USA for a vacation and pay low rates for your car rental and your hotel rooms. You can also bring along an empty suitcase and fill it with bargain priced merchandise to take back with you.
Why not consider a combination vacation and shopping excursion to the USA? I know that many people are already coming to New York City to take advantage of the Christmas shopping possibilities. There are plenty of other places in the USA that offer great vacation opportunities as well as excellent shopping opportunities. Here are a few suggestions:
New York is still a perennial favorite shopping destination. It is certainly a nice place to visit during the holiday season. Christmas decorations and colored lights abound in the parks and stores around the city. All of the great designer boutiques and big department stores offer a wide assortment of merchandise. New York City is not my top choice for bargain shopping except during the time of the grand bargain sales immediately after the holidays. To get the best bargains, you need to go outside of the city to some of the discount malls like the one at Woodbury Commons.
Florida is a really great place for a winter vacation with included shopping excursion. The weather is usually very pleasant. You can engage in many outdoor activities like golf or tennis. Swimming is possible, but only in heated pools during the winter months. You can go to Orlando and visit the numerous amusement attractions like Disney World, Universal Studios, Sea World and many others. You can also visit the many discount malls located around the state. Fort Lauderdale is only a four hour drive from Orlando, and thirty minutes from Miami. It offers one of the largest discount shopping malls in the USA. The Sawgrass Mills Mall has nearly five hundred shops with factory discount merchandise. The Galleria Mall nearby offers designer merchandise at discount prices.
Las Vegas is the bigggest adult amusement center in the world. The winter weather is also rather pleasant. You can engage in outdoor activities or many indoor entertainments such as gambling or attending shows. It offers several shopping malls and discount malls in and around the city. It is only a few hours driving distance from some of the most spectacular scenic wonders in the USA sucha as the Grand Canyon, Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon.
