What is the cheapest way to spend a week on the beach as far away from here as possible?

Question

BTW, "here" is the mid-western united states. I seriously mean NO frills, cheap as possible.

Answer 1

Have you checked out the last minute deals on some of the travel web sites like sell off vacations or itravel2000? You can go to an all-inclusive (food and all beverages included) for about $500 sometimes even less!

Answer 2

Go to the 7, 107 islands of the Philippines!

Your dollar can spend many things here!

Try the islands of BOHOL, CEBU and PALAWAN!
