Spring Break '03

PurdueGirlie · #1 07-21-2002, 01:39 PM

I know that it's a little early, but I was wondering if any of you had suggestions about good places to go for Spring Break? Or where are you planning to go?

I have been to Cancun twice, so I don't plan on going back again this year. I want to go somewhere I've never been before.

I was also wondering what is South Padre Island like? I have heard good things and bad things about it. Just wondering what you guys thought.

Oh, and if anyone has any suggestions about what travel company I should go through, that would be appreciated also.

Last time I went with Student Express and we had some problems with our flight. I don't really know if I want to go with them again.

Thanks for your help!

We went to Daytona, FL the year before last and that was really fun. The only draw back is our spring break falls on the same week as Harley Davidson Bike Week. Everyone that went to Panama City said they had a wonderful time if you subtract the long drive. I am shooting for a nice spring break since this will be my last one as an undergrad.

Since I live in Florida (and my hubby and I don't mind driving a bit!) we did Spring Break weekends in Fort Myers, Daytona Beach, and Panama City (Fort Myers and Panama City for '01, Daytona and Panama City again for '02)

I would have to say my fave place was Panama City. It's a blast, there is a ton of people there...and Club La Vela rocks!

I live kinda close to Panama City (only 2 hours away) so we didn't stay overnight there or anything, just drove up for the day to party it up on the beach. It's so great!

I went to Cancun this summer w/ USA Student Travel and I have mixed reviews. The staff was friendly and helpful I guess... but the plane ride was horrible.

This year we did Key West, so I think the way it'll go is:
2nd year: Panama City
3rd year: Cancun
4th year: Las Vegas (this one's for sure)
I've banned my sisters from even thinking we're going to Miami.

How was Key West? Would you recommend going there?

I've been to Cancun and Acapulco for Spring Break. I had an awesome time at Acapulco...but I think Cancun was crazier if you want that all out insane spring break. But don't get me wrong, we had a crazy time in Acapulco...but it was a bit more calm. If you love to go to clubs and dance all night, the clubs in Acapulco were great, and in my opinion, better than Cancun clubs.

I was thinking about going back to Cancun, but then again, I'd like to also go somewhere I haven't been yet. Who else has suggestions?

Well I've been out of college for almost 2 years now but a bunch of my friends are planning a trip for Spring Break next year. We will probably end up in Key West. The bars down there are so much fun!!

I think I've exhausted most of the spring breaks in the Western Hemisphere. Key West last year. Cancun the year before. Costa Rica the year before that and British Columbia my freshman year. This year I have made mention to some friends about taking a trip to the far east. I'd like to go to Japan or Thailand. The things is though, the trip would have to be more than a week. Normally the week before spring break we have tests up the ass. Anyhow, I think if I don't go out there I'll hit up the UK. The nightlife in London is one of the best in the world. Another plus to the UK is that the chicks there love American guys and we speak the same language. That was one of the bad things about Costa Rica, i didn't know any spanish and it seriously hurt my game.

I find out Tuesday whether or not I get to be spending those days in Belize.

I'm incredibly anxious for you, Cory!

hey all-
i am thinking of going to cancun for spring break. do you guys have any suggestions for hotels or companies to travel with?

damasa · #13 07-29-2002, 08:48 PM

It kind of sucks when I think about it. If I was never involved in my accident I would have left for Thailand today and I'd be on my way there for eight days. But I ended up calling the trip off after I got out of the hospital...

I went to vegas my senior year..it was soooooo much fun..highly recommend (even if its not your typical beach spring break trip)

Glad to see some more responses. I was curious as to what Key West is like. Do many college students go there for spring break? What bars and hotels are good? I am trying to find some more info on that.

Thanks to everyone who responded
