Last Minute Budget Destinations

You told yourself you couldn't afford it and that you could forgo a vacation this year.

But as grey day turns into greyer days you find yourself needing some sun and relaxation or at the very least a change of scenery but you've got nothing planned.

Here are some last minute budget destinations that won't have you regretting your impulsiveness.
