Spring Break

[zestfive]

I'm pretty sure that I won't be going to the conference I had hoped to attend. With bad budgets, I think they are saying no to out of state travel.

This means that I want to go somewhere (WARM) for spring break. I would be available anytime from March 14 through to the 22nd. P has that time off too. I want to go somewhere warm that won't have too many college student spring breakers. Do you have any suggestions? I don't want to spend too much money. I just want to enjoy being in warm weather and water (lake, ocean, indoor pool...don't care) Definition of warm is more than 60 degrees F. I don't care if it's a cruise or just go to warm weather and hang out.

Where have you gone that has been the best experience for you?

Land between the lakes! :P

Seriously, I would vote for somewhere in the southwest. Arizona, New Mexico...it'll be warm, there's all sorts of interesting stuff to do, and the area doesn't ordinarily draw the Spring Break crowd (which would be my #1 priority, to avoid the crowds).

Yeah, I was thinking something like that....maybe vegas since we never got that far when we went west. I want to try the In and Out Burgers!

*ahem* I've been here: http://www.arlingtonhotel.com/

True, it's not on the coast, but HS is a cool little town with the bathhouses to tour, and the hotel itself is great to hang out in. By mid/late March, it's around 70 degrees here, at least.

Besides that, I've been to Wrightsville Beach, N.C. at the same time of year, but because it's so early in the "season", there aren't that many facilities available.

savannah, ga pops into mind- about an hour from the ocean, not a real tourist pull town, home of the girl scouts founder, and lots and lots of intrigue and gossip. you can rent a decent place for a week fairly cheap, and people watch, eat well, and have fun. we spent several years there in my late teens while my gag helped the paper plant get it's eps certification.

the other is morro bay(and i might have slaughtered the spelling) claifornia. you can seal watch, eat sea food to you hearts contents, go cheer for the fighting slugs( i am noy kidding, they have a slug for their college mascot, a banana slug, iirc)and then go watch the seals bask in the sun all day. that and it really is beautiful there.
