University students, yuppies or young couples who want to take a break usually have little to spend for it. They probably have $1000 at most for a vacation budget. With financial problems plaguing most people, it is wise to spend as little as possible even if you are a student or a yuppie. Here are some destinations for you to have vacations for two at an affordable price:

Atlantic City

Slot machines and casinos are not the only activities that can keep you busy in this grand city. With accommodations in a Harrah’s Resort deluxe room, you also get $100 off from deluxe services at the hotel’s Red Door Spa. Get massages for you and your partner to make your vacation a truly relaxing one. The room is $125 per night, exclusive of occupancy fees or taxes.

Chicago

Stay at the Affinia for $134 per night, plus pay additional fees and taxes for around $21; and if available, you can get a suite upgrade. Visit the state’s recommended restaurants, art and cultural exhibits or go to jazz concerts. If you are into fashion, you will want to visit in October. Runway shows, workshops and other events of the Fashion Focus Chicago will be held on the 17th to 23rd.

Nashville

This destination is perfect for the music-loving couples, and it is also one of the best destinations for fall travel. If you want to witness the IBMA Awards in person, make sure to be there on September 29th. Check out the IBMA site for more information on performance schedules from Aretha Franklin, Weird Al, k. d. lang and many others. For $149 per night (minimum 2 nights), you get a Millennium Maxwell House standard double room plus access to four musical attractions. The fee is exclusive of taxes and an occupancy fee.

Western Caribbean Cruise

Nothing beats a cruise when it comes to romantic escapades. Book a Norwegian Spirit Western Caribbean cruise for around $399 per person, exclusive of $80 worth of taxes and fuel supplements. Ports of call include New Orleans, Belize City and Cozumel. The fee is inclusive of ship amenities as well as most of the meals and taxes for seven nights and eight days.

If you are looking for a vacation as soon as possible, visit sites like Priceline, Cruise Cheap, Budget Travel Online or Smarter Travel regularly. Some hard-to-pass offers expire soon or have to be reserved early for you to get the best deals. If you know where to look, vacation packages for 2 at a $1000 budget are not too hard to find.
