Indeed, as we sit in the midst of a credit crunch, money is tight for many of us, and taking a holiday may very well be the last thing on our minds, especially with Christmas just around the corner. With the credit crunch affecting every aspect of our financial lifestyles, many have to think twice about where and when they go on holiday.
