Costa Rica (Exchange rate: + 11.7): This Central American beauty isn't only for whitewater rafting anymore; it's actually the most economically safe for U.S. citizens. With its 1.9 billion-per-year tourism industry, CR is the best L.A. pais to have your destination wedding. Subsequently, with all its tourists you'll also have to sport a fanny pack with your gown. Considering the economy stateside it's best to settle in CR, buy a llama and get your Angelina Jolie on--meaning adopt an ethnic baby.

Dominican Republic (Exchange rate: + 3.5): Not only will you lay on the isle's magnificent beaches, the nation's pride, Sammy Sosa, will be your tour guide. After blowing his millions on ‘roids and corked bats he needs this job, seriously. Sosa will take you to his old haunts in San Pedro de Macorís, will show you how to create a milk carton into a baseball mitt and recite "Baseball been bery, bery good to me" at request.

Nicaragua (Exchange rate: + 2.0): Tourism is booming in Guatemala's neighbor. With the U.S. dollar as weak as Bill Gates in a weightlifting competition Nicaragua offers some relief. If your libido is aching to "explore" Brazil's Carnival, a more financially efficient route is to attend El Carnival de Managua. It still offers the same as Brazil's decadence--girls, girls and girls minus any unpleasant manly surprises (we see you Eddie Murphy).

Ecuador (Exchange rate: Unchanged): Even though the Andean nation ditched its currency (Sucre) years ago and is now dollarized there are still deals to be had here. But book a flight now because President Rafael Correra is itching to kick some North American nalgas. While the dapper prez is leaning towards very American ideals (same sex marriage, legalized abortion) he also has Hugo Chavez as a "top friend" on his MySpace page. Next on his to-do list: boot the U.S. military base out of Manta.

Panama (Exchange rate: Unchanged): Come to the birthplace of reggaeton. If it weren't for El General, Daddy Yankee would have never gained universal acclaim nor would have Don Omar married television hottie Jackie Guerrido. Aside from the infectious tunes you can also visit Manuel Noriega's cell to play connect the dots on his face. Add insult to injury and bring rapper Noreaga and let him perform a reggaeton song for Manny.
