Plan Today For Fun With Spring Break 2012 And Save Money

By Libby Johnson


Spring break is always a special time of year for students and even those looking to get away after a long, hard winter. Spring break 2012 promises to be a great one. If you start planning now then you can have the vacation of your dreams and still stay on a budget.

You might consider a spring break cruise. This is a great way to be on the water and avoid the crowds at the beach. A cruise also offers a bit of luxury and everything is planned for you. Cruise ships offer activities that you can choose to participate in or you might just lounge around the pool. This is a wonderful way to spend any vacation when you want to lay back and relax.

If you are trying to stay on a budget then you may want to consider going in with some friends. Many places offer group discounts and if you can find lodging that rents by the week then the cost spilt by you and your friends can greatly reduce the individual costs per person. Think of it this way; five hundred dollars spent on a three bedroom beach house for the week split by you and four friends will only amount to one hundred dollars for each of you.

Driving or taking a bus may be much cheaper than flying. Driving can cut costs as well, especially if you car pool with others. You might consider taking turns driving which can help you arrive at your destination much quicker. Once you split the cost of gas by everyone riding with you then this is another great money saver.

If you are intent on flying then booking ahead is a must. This is also advisable with any other reservations you are making. Many places run out of room well before spring break begins so the earlier you book the better your chances of getting the accommodations you want or need for your vacation. Planning ahead will also allow you to know how much money you will need for your break.

A travel agent may also help you to get better deals. They often have packages for singles or groups and they can book all of the events you want to attend. This may also be helpful if you want to add tours or shows to your spring beak. Many can customize a package just for you and your friends.

Spring will be here before you know it. Plan your Spring Break 2012 now so you don't miss out on anything. Get with your friends and make this a vacation to remember.
