Spring Break Travel Tips and Top Destinations

1. Set an Itinerary: This rule applies to all aspects of your trip, not just airfare! Popular destinations like Cancun, Florida, Hawaii, and Montego Bay will be crowded. Make sure all plans are taken care of like your hotel, transportation, meals, and any activities like boat trips and scuba diving to lock in your spot. Have your plans set before you leave and make an itinerary to avoid any setbacks on your vacation.
2. Research Your Destination: There are cities and hotels that will be taken over by college students during Spring Break. Make sure you do your research and choose a destination and accommodations based on the type of vacation you’re looking for. If a low-key vacation is your idea of the perfect trip, avoid Cancun and think about some place like Sanibel Island, FL instead.
3. Check Government Warnings: International travelers can find a treasure trove of information about destinations via the State Department’s, State.Gov. Search countries by name to see facts on passport requirements, embassy contacts, safety and security, local laws, and more!
4. Pack like a Pro: The usual beach supplies like sunscreen, flip-flops, and towels can cost twice as much at popular tourist destinations. It’s better to risk overpacking than to spend your whole Spring Break budget on overpriced beachwear. Make sure your bags meet the weight limit provided by your airline and help keep yourself extra-organized by grouping items together in Organizer Bags. Want to take pictures in the water without sacrificing your phone? Then don’t forget to bring a Waterproof Pouch to ensure your phone's safety.
5. Enjoy Nature: Whatever your destination, make sure you take one day to get off the beaten path and unwind in nature. Set aside time to enjoy activities you enjoy like snorkeling, surfing, hiking, and enjoying the local fare.
