A Cure for the Spring Break Blues

LEARNING TRANSFORMS US.

Hey Beavers, don’t have any Spring Break plans yet? Here are some of the places everyone is going to next week.

Of course there is fun yet slightly cliche Palm Springs (http://www.visitpalmsprings.com). Even though everyone makes a point to go here, it’s beautiful place if you’re in the mood for sun and a relaxing spring break.

If you want to go somewhere closer, just a three-hour drive away is Bend (http://www.bend.or.us). The mountains are beautiful and filled with exciting, fun people just like you. Also, I can honestly say downtown Bend is beautiful and the locals are great.

If you need any other travel help last-minute, travel mega-sites such as Kayak (www.kayak.com), Expedia (www.expedia.com), and Travelocity (www.travelocity.com) offer a bunch of information for easy comparison of airfares, car rentals, cruises, hotels and last-minute bargains – all organized to make travel-planning simple and convenient. Each site also offers apps for all mobile platforms (iPhone, Android, Windows), available for free download. I have personally used most of these sites and love them!

So, if you’re like me and always wait last minute to pick the perfect vacation, check out these locations or website, and I’m sure you’ll have a great break!
