—Spring Break: Where to go that is actually worth it
Written By : Annalisa Frumento
As the New Years celebrations come to a close, the inevitable year-planning anxiety takes over. Questions like “Who’s my valentine?”, “Do I have plans for Saint Patty's yet?”, or questions about the spring semester fill the air not-so silently. Although I cannot find you a significant other in the next month, I can help with one thing. I am the self proclaimed expert of spring break. Let me help give you some ideas that are fun, and financially reasonable that will give you something to look forward to if Saint Patty's plans don’t work out…
Maybe you’re going for something low-key, which is perfect for winding down after a few hectic months of either work or school. Perhaps a road trip? Well, from New York there are a few great spots that are a fun car ride of Taylor Swift songs away! There is one that stands out though. I recommend driving to Lake George in the Adirondacks. Lake George is in New York state and is one of the most beautiful places for a quiet getaway. For the history buffs, Lake George is filled with historical sights from the French and Indian war, if those sights are something you’re interested in! There is also a Six Flags park for those who want some thrills and fun!
If you are more about the jet-set life and into nightlife, a classic trip you could go on is to Miami, especially for a girls trip. Miami may seem basic, but this trip could be perfect for the friend group! The flights from New York booked in advance are as low as $90-$120 round trip and hotels are always cheapest booked in advance. Club Space is open literally all night, so if partying and EDM is your thing, definitely give it a try. The food in Miami is also amazing, with a rich influence of latin cultures. Swing by the beach and enjoy some good food while you’re there.
I know I said this list would be pocket friendly, but if you’re up for spending just a bit more, a trip to Puerto Rico is worthwhile. Airbnb has some very neat lavish villas. An All-Inclusive is also a good option for those who want a very relaxed and hands off vacation.
Hopefully these spots either helped or gave you some ideas as to what to do with your vacation time. Whether it's PTO, or school break, everybody deserves some time off. Even if traveling is not really your thing, I encourage you to get inspired by the idea of a getaway and maybe plan something small!
