The Top Spring Break Travel Tips For 2005

Spring break is probably the most anticipated holiday ever and as with all highly anticipated events, the pressure to make it perfect is absolutely huge.

Let's face it, deciding on where to go for spring break is a difficult decision to make. The Internet has so many offers it's frightening. Pretty much everywhere on the planet, from Jamaica and Mexico to Palm Springs and San Diego, is an option, but the best way to go about organizing a spring break is to start by answering just two simple questions:

1. How much money can you spend?

Spring break trips can get very costly very quickly. If you are on a limited budget, it doesn't mean your choices are limited, they're just different. Prices will vary from the budget to the expensive depending on your choice of destination and length of stay. A good solution for a lower budget is to choose a closer destination (you save on airfare that way) but stay for longer. In any case, have a clear budget in your head when you start browsing the Internet for initial ideas.

2. Do you want to hire a travel agent?

Travel agents can be very helpful because they are the experts and you are not. Randomly choosing holiday packages on the Internet could well yield some excellent, fun and memorable trips, but so much depends on having a perfect spring break trip that it could well be worth seeking the advice of the experts, first. Some agencies specialize in spring break holiday packages, some agencies target students, others are experts in budget package holidays.

Every destination has a different atmosphere to it as does every hotel. It is important that you stress you'll be on spring break when booking your accommodation so as to avoid being inadvertently placed next to, for example, a family. You're on spring break to let loose and not to worry about spoiling someone else's holiday.

Another thing to keep in mind is safety. Read up on the laws of the place you are visiting. And remember, there's safety in numbers, so do travel with a group. That goes for both guys and girls.

Some of the best spring break options are the cruises. A quick Internet search for "black spring break" or "Cancun spring break" will bring up the appropriate results. The Cancun "booze" cruises have now gained legendary status and are well worth investigating, what with the open bars, live music and boats full of happy people, plus the bikini contests and parties on beaches that go for miles. The Cancun experience certainly lives up to media expectations of spring break trips as wild and rowdy, but of course, there are Aztec ruins to see during the day so the trip has added educational benefits too!

Whatever you choose in the end, make sure you organize and book everything well in advance. Not only will you be sure you've planned the best trip, but you can also secure better deals when booking in advance.
