Planning Your Spring Break Getaway

By Brad Alexzander

A popular tradition among high school and college students alike is heading somewhere warm and sunny for the week known as Spring Break. Regrettably, most people's current financial state with this economy eliminates a few of the more expensive destinations.

However, I still have five amazing beaches that college students can make reservations for now and look forward to several days of sun and sand without breaking the bank.

* Ft. Lauderdale has long been one of the most popular destinations for Spring Break. Throughout the past few years Florida has undergone some changes however Ft. Lauderdale still tops the list for affordable Spring Break destinations.

* Acapulco also tops the list for popular destinations, especially for college students. You can usually find travel packages that help make this destination affordable as well as trendy.

* Unfortunately while Bermuda has always been at the top of the spring break list it is also somewhat pricey. Fortunately nearby Aruba is a wonderful alternative destination with amazing beaches, friendly people, and fantastic weather. One more bonus is that all Aruba hotels are located on the beach, unlike Bermuda.

* Another consideration is the Bahamas as it offers affordable accommodations and fabulous beaches.

* My final recommendation is to take a cruise as they have become highly touted as the best possible vacation venue for most college students and the all-inclusive rates will take you to either "nowhere" or from Florida to the Bahamas,.

Safety is also a concern this year, especially in Mexico. Crime has risen in well-known resorts such as Cancun, and it is advised not to travel there this year. Acapulco, however, is the exception.

Finally I have one other suggestion that you may want to consider, Panama City Beach, FL. In the past few years it has become a It has become a booming destination for Spring Breakers. With beautiful beaches, plentiful parties, and hopping clubs this is one destination college students may want to consider as a last "resort."

Any one of these destinations would be a wonderful way to relax and enjoy Spring Break. It is highly recommended that you book early. Either check with your travel agent or utilize the online travel companies.
