Finally, for those vacationers with a more practical, and contrarian, view of the spring break season, here's an article with an interesting and appealing spring break suggestion. Head to college with the family for spring break. Take the traditionally slow on-campus week and tour prospective colleges for your graduating high schooler.
It's a nice and productive spring break vacation idea if you think about it.. And if your college(s) of choice happen to be on or near the Gulf Coast, so much the better. Why not combine a vacation at the beach with a visit to one of the Gulf Coast's fine institutions of higher learning?
