When does spring break start and end in 2011?

[Andy A]

I am a teacher in Illinois. We are coming down for Spring Break March 20 - 26. How is the water during this time (temperature wise)? We have stayed during the summer and done Spring break in southern Florida but never spring break in South Walton. I'm hoping the water is warm enough to swim. I'm pretty hardy and don't mind if it's a little chilly.

The kids at Bella Vita on Blue Mt. Beach were swimming yesterday. I'm not.

Spring break is virtually here ... actually K-12 kids here with their parents for President's Day weekend. There are still snowbirds here. So everything is very busy. Back to looping aroung Quincy Square at least three times to get a parking spot. Waits at restaurants that were empty two weeks ago. The bike paths are full of people. The weather is so warm that the teenaged girls are walking around Seaside with swimsuits on.

You know that businesses are happy to be back making money.

I was talking with a restaurant manager yesterday, and she said this week, they're going to start to show up from Ohio.

In years past, the local newspapers have run little infographics about which K-12 states and major colleges were off in a given week. I assume they're still doing the same this year.

I can understand that since the weather is just this side of warm enough for bathing suits. I'd bet anything though if you asked them they haven't gone in the water.

You're right. Their long hair looked freshly flat-ironed.

Cobb County has winter break this week and Spring Break April 4 - 8. Will join you for the first but not the second -- boo!

Greetings:
Does anyone know when the various spring breaks begin and end? I'm starting to get inquiries for spring vacations and don't quite know when the "peak" spring season is versus the non-peak spring dates are. It all depends on when the people from the southern schools have vacations.
Thanks much.

After kurt's post mine will seem a little weak. According to Resort Quest's calendar Spring Break 2011 starts Mid March and ends April 30.

Per my travel agent's monthly e-letter, we should expect good crowds - people are flat fed up with the nasty weather.

Combo of pent up travel demand, economic improvement, and nasty winter weather.

Apparently Hawaii has had a major surge.

P.S. In other travel news the DOT is also clarifying that electronic cigarettes are included in the government ban on smoking on flights

Let's not forget the ongoing cartel violence in Mexico.
