You thought your ideal spring break trip would be totally spontaneous, free of all deliberation. Then you ended up watching the happy travelers returning from happy activities to the comfort of their happy rooms, while you try to fall asleep in a cramped car seat with only a few (unhappy) friends and an individual-size bottle of whiskey for comfort. No, not Gentleman Jack's - think bottom-shelf.

Sound familiar? Many travelers have had similar experiences on what were supposed to be dream vacations. Spring break trips require planning to guarantee that you'll spend your money wisely, have as much fun as possible and stay safe.

1. Brainstorm possible destinations for your spring break trip. The "when" is pre-determined, so figure out the "where." Where do you (and your friends) want to visit? Consider outdoor activities, relaxation, social scene and weather. The best spring break trips are ones in which you really feel a sense of escape to something totally different; you feel exhilarated while traveling and refreshed upon your return to the daily grind. Did anyone say, "Change in latitude?" Maybe, but not necessarily. Maybe a change in altitude is more to your liking. Pleasant change is the fundamental element of a good spring break trip. So how do you define "fun?"
   
   
2. Research. You only have a short window of travel time; the most interesting place on earth might make for a poor destination if you feel totally shortchanged by a visit that didn't last long enough. On the other hand, spending a week in a totally slumbering corner of the world can lead to the regrettable feeling that you've missed out on all the fun. There are no set rules as to what makes a good destination; that distinction depends entirely on your taste and mood. But research to make sure you end up somewhere tailored to your preferences - whether you aim to snorkel off an abandoned beach or drink cocktails out of coconut shells after a volleyball tournament.
