There are at least
11 days to spend in a fun and relaxing location. Spring Break begins on the 20th of
march and goes till the 1sth of April. So
there is plenty of time to travel to the perfect destination, like Hawaii,
Disneyland, or Vegas. It is up to you
what to do with fast approaching days of Spring Break, 2013.
Below are Spring
Break hot spots and favorites with their approximate prices found online
through Expedia and other independent websites.
Great locations to travel to with a family are the GreatWolf Lodge. The Washington location
includes a water park and fun family themed rooms. Another great location for the family is
Disneyland.
Popular
destinations for local singles and groups of friends are Las Vegas, Hawaii, San
Francisco, and Seattle. The choice of
location will depend on the type of relaxation and fun you wish to have.
Las Vegas offers
clubbing, pool parties, shopping and gambling, to name a few activities. Hawaii offers a
great place to relax in sunshine, sea and sand.
What more can be said, it is Hawaii!
Seattle offers great sights, shopping, food, and nightlife. Since Seattle is closer to home, spring breakers can choose to drive or fly. Guest can enjoy exploring Pikes Market, the Space Needle, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame or the beautiful Sound and San Juan Islands. Night life includes dinner shows and cabarets, clubbing or possibly a Cirque du Soleil showing of Amaluna!
San Francisco in
another Spring Break destination. It
offers similar attractions as Seattle with a bit less rain and a bit more
fog. Likely, depending on price of gas
and flights, it will be easiest and most relaxing to take a short flight
down.
Other hot spots for
traveling to during Spring Break include DisneyWorld, the gulf coast in Texas
and of course Mexico. With all travel,
the best way to save money is to book in advance, but several travel sites now
offer last minute deals and bidding on travel packages, so if the location
doesn't matter and there is some flexibility on travel time, try these money saving
options. Remember, these are limited deals,
so if you see something you want, book it.
And many do not allow cancelations for any reason.
Another great way to
save money while traveling, for those travelers who do not care where they rest
their head or seek to spend as much time and money outside of the hotel,
consider a hostel.
Bring your supplies
with you! Make sure you pack all the necessity with you when you travel so you
don’t have to pay the excessive prices to buy after you arrive. Last year’s spring break humorous observation
came from the lobby of the Vdara in Las Vegas, a group exited one of the
elevators with baggage and a large box of ramen in hand.
“I travel to Vegas
every spring break and how I save a nights saving is flying out early in the
money and spend my last night out and about then head to the airport and crash
there until my flight. They got food, slots
and bathrooms,” says Shannon Armstrong, a student at OSU.
Final suggestion
when traveling for Spring Break, the more, the merrier. The prices above are based on double
occupancy rates. You can decrease the
costs by sharing a room with additional friends or family, by splitting the
cost among more individuals. Expect to
decrease the package average rate by 8% with a third person and 5% with fourth
and expect to increase the package cost on an average rate of 27% if booked for
a single person.
So go out and have fun this Spring Break, forget about the
daily grind and those college classes! See all students back on April Fool’s
Day. How ironic!
