Spring Break… Aahh to be young again… Do you remember those times – those of you who are beyond the Spring-breaker years? For many young adults and teens, this time of the year is a big deal. It’s a huge money-maker for the tourist industry in many places that dot the national map - Florida (Miami, South Beach is a favorite that stands out to me). Check out this list:

According to actual hotel bookings at travelweb.com as of March 11, 2004, the top 2004 Spring Break destinations are...

1. Miami Beach, Florida
2. Orlando, Florida
3. Las Vegas, Nevada
4. New York, New York
5. Tampa / St.Petersburg / Clearwater Beaches, Florida
6. Cancun, Mexico
7. San Diego, California
8. Daytona Beach, Florida
9. Honolulu, Hawaii
10. Phoenix/Scottsdale, Arizona

The weather is a key to these and other destinations; it’s warm, it’s sunny. There’s oceanfront property nearby and of course, plenty of beach to go along with it of course. I’m envious. I need a release like that, although without the over-indulgence in all aspects of youthful exuberance, shall we say. I’ll take the warmth, the sunshine, the beach, and good company. What say you about Spring Break favorite hotspots and why?!
