Travel to Europe is getting expensive!!! The weak dollar is not helping. My question is: Where in all of Europe (East, West, North, and South) does the dollar still get you, any sort, of value?

Definitely go East - even places like Croatia are starting to get expensive

Of course, the East is the best place for your buck. In 2006 we stayed in a super-luxurious Krakow hotel for about $100. After that, try Portugal...we were there last month and paid about 50E a night for OK accommodations. If that's still too much, try Central America for a trip or two.

Central America is still a great value. We found a 10-day land tour for $995 per person, not including airfare.

I think Greece can still be a bargain compared to the rest of Europe. I was still finding lots of double rooms under 50 Euro, and great meals for two under 20 Euro just a couple years ago. In general, South and East tend to be cheaper, North, more expensive the further up you go. (England just scares me with what things cost!)
