  • The only problem with spring break is that it’s too short to enjoy going far away—time changes would cut into my long-dreamed-of adventure to the islands off the east coast of Africa—big (Madagascar) and small (Seychelles, Reunion, Pemba, Zanzibar, etc.). So, for a “local” adventure, maybe I’d go south to Central or South America. If I only had the 10 days of spring break, sailing in the Caribbean among the Grenadines would be high on my list…of course, one may never return!

  • Without question, I’d head straight for a cruise to the Galapagos Islands, complete with a guide knowledgeable in the exotic species there. It is a destination that has always captured my imagination!

  • I would go on a spring break to Hawaii. I love the thought of the warm tropical island, the nice beaches and the relaxing atmosphere. I think it would be fun to also tour some of the different Hawaiian islands.
