Celebrating March with a Great Getaway
The month of March brings so many things worth celebrating – spring arrives, everyone is finished recovering from the holiday season, the cold weather is winding down, St. Patrick’s Day celebrations are being planned and students get a little time off from school. What better time to plan a little getaway?
In many warmer areas the cost to travel in March can be higher due to the Spring Break holiday. While many families decide to take vacations at this time and tend to gravitate towards these warmer places there is plenty of opportunity for couples to take some time to get away as well.
If you don’t mind a chillier locale, you may find that somewhere to cuddle up fireside will save you a little money. Either way, whether you’re looking to take an extended tropical vacation, for somewhere to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, or for some great staycation itineraries there are plenty of options out there. Your travel professional can help you plan the perfect March getaway but a few examples before making that call will help you gain a better idea as to exactly what kind of trip you want to take.
Spring Break Travel
One thing that you can be absolutely sure of is that warm destinations like Florida, Virginia, California, Texas, Louisiana, the Bahamas, and the Caribbean are not only going to be pricier but they will be packed with tourists too. If you’re one of those travelers that doesn’t care, then by all means look into all of those places because with all the people comes a lot of events and activities. You can take advantage of those promotions and events put on for spring breakers if you travel at the right time.
The alternative is to take advantage of everyone going south to snag up a good deal in a colder destination. Not everybody can see the positive side of visiting somewhere like New York, Colorado, or Chicago during the last remnants of the winter days – that being less of a crowd and value pricing . If you have always wanted to visit any of those places but have been holding off due to high cost , this is your opportunity.
If you do decide to do some spring break traveling talk to your travel professional to find out where the most happening places are, where you can find the best deals, and when would be a good time to book.
