According to the NY Times spring travel, especially this month should be carefully planned and timed in order to catch the best deals. Easter falls earlier this year and spring vacations for school-aged children and college students may also fall earlier as well. Thus, causing a crunch in vacation time and increases in prices at some destinations.

I don’t know about you, but I’m so over winter…and ready to spring off to somewhere sunny and relaxing. So check out these deals and start planning your spring-time getaway. Don’t forget to send us a postcard!!
