Panama City, Panama
Dear Panama Enthusiast,
I’ve found a steal of a deal to get you to Panama. Check out Escapes Ltd's super offer of six nights lodging plus airfare and more for $699 (just dial 1-800-243-7227). Wow. This high-value package enables you to visit both Panama and Costa Rica for an amazingly low price. (If this trip doesn’t fit with your plans, see Panama’s Copa Airlines website for some very reasonable airfares.)
And what will you do once you get here?

Puglia, Italy
Read more about Italy in International Living Postcards—your daily escape
As I’ve discovered recently, Italy’s “heel” province of Puglia is a treasure trove of bargain coastal property and unique countryside homes. To find the best deals, however, you’ll need a car, because the local bus and train networks won’t take you to Italy’s most interesting corners.
