Spring Break 2008 - Some thoughts


It's not to hard to understand why there's such an anticipation for spring break. Is it just because of its no-holds barred atmosphere or just its uninhibited frenzy that leads to thousands of college students to land up at Cancun, Acapulco etc. etc.?

Working at StudentCity allows me an insight into this exciting world, hence the idea to post a blog. Now, here comes my shameless product plug...Well, OK! But honestly, without making a big noise about it, StudentCity does have tons of spring break packages and deals for all these different exciting places in the US and internationally.

By international, I mean all the different destinations like Cancun, Acapulco, Florida, Cabo, Jamaica, the Bahamas, Dominican Republic, South Padre Island and more. So, anyone wanting to book a trip has his/her hands full.

Choices abound...Let me list a few :
1. Where do I want to go?
2. How long should I stay there?
3. Which travel provider should I choose?
4. what packages are right for me?
5. Whom am I traveling with?

That's just the start. Let's get some answers, shall we?

1. Cancun's the most visited spot for Spring Break. Almost every kid you come across will want to talk about his Cancun spring break experience. During those few days in March the town transforms itself into party central. There are landmark hotels like the Oasis (StudentCity actually has it's HQ over there) coupled with clubs like 'Home to the 'City that party on all night.

So, if you'd ask me, I'd go with Cancun simply because the odds of meeting folks from your school or state are much higher. Of course, if you want a more relaxed spring break there's always Jamaica.

2. That's totally up to you. Packages are available to cover most length-of-time requirements. Or, it would make sense if you checked up with your travel provider to see what they have to offer.

3. The answer to this one is simple. You need to choose the most reliable travel provider and not any fly-by-night operator. do some basic homework. check out the provider's website - ask them questions like how long have they been in the business, how strong is their relationship with the various entertainment providers like the clubs, beach party organizers, event organizers, hotels etc. Dig deep - you're the customer and you have the right to know about the business to whom you're giving your money to.

4. Once again the spring break package that you select is dependent on where you want to go, the other students you're traveling with, how long you plan to spend there and what thrills and frills you want with your deal. There are tons of spring break deals out there and after understanding what you want, make a top three list (Hmm... I seem to like lists) and select the best one.

5. This one is easy. Use your MySpace and Facebook to locate folks who are traveling. StudentCity has a community site which lists the students who are traveling for the upcoming Spring Break 2008 where you can see who's traveling and connect with them.

And, of course, the bigger your group, the better will be your discounts. I'll write some more in days to come about how you can travel for free - it's as simple as getting a group of kids to go on spring break and you jump on for free, after that.

To be continued...
