When I think spring break, I think beaches, parties and fun in the sun. I definitely didn?t think Vancouver. But a couple of friends turned me on to the idea of giving Vancouver a try last year for our vacation. We were all going in a big group of about 10 people, so we needed to find accommodations in Vancouver that would hold all of us without it being a strain on our pockets. The idea of finding something inexpensive and big enough for all of us already had me feeling a bit skeptical.

As soon as I realized, however, how easy it was to find Vancouver lodging that was not only cheap but sizeable, I was excited to be there. The Canadian city has so much to offer, from beaches and mountains to casinos and dance clubs. It  is no doubt a great place for you and your...

The thrill of the slopes awaits you as you escape from the crazy college life and run to Vail, Colorado, where you can enjoy skiing, snowboarding and the joys of experiencing breathtaking snow-capped mountain air as you become enveloped in the excitement of a snowy spring break vacation.

It's so unusual to hear of a spring break with no beach and no sand. The beauty of spring break vacations, though, is that they are whatever you want them to be. They are snowy or sunny, hot or cold. Some of us love the cool, crisp weather, so we are never disappointed by a trip to Vail. Vail is a beautiful mountain resort town in Colorado, boasting lots of skiing and snow sports and most of all, the kind of relaxation that makes for a warm and toasty spring break.

There are a few things you should keep in mind before...

If you're looking to go out of the country for your spring break vacation, but you don't want to go too far out, the Turks and Caicos Islands are the place to go. Located  just off the coast of Miami, Turks and Caicos have plenty to do for those who don't quite have a plan.

The Turks and Caicos consists of about 40 islands and cays, although only a few are inhabited. As with any Caribbean destination, the most beautiful thing about Turks and Caicos is the gorgeous beaches and the incomparable water activities. There is nothing more amazing than experiencing Mother Nature at work and up close, and the perfect place to do that is at Turks and Caicos.

Before you go on your Turks and Caicos adventure, it is very important that you look at what your options are for lodging. A Turks resort is always a great...

Here's a spring break destination you may have never thought of ? Scottsdale. Arizona. Have you ever thought about heading West and seeing what's so great about the desert life? Have you met people from that area that insist that it is better than the East coast and you haven't believed them? I myself was an East Coast Only sort of gal, until a friend proposed that I go with her to Scottsdale during our spring break.

It was a big risk for me, because I was planning on doing the more traditional Daytona Beach sort of spring break, with constantly screaming and carrying on and crowds and crowds of people. As soon as I landed in Scottsdale, though, I was hooked. It's so strange to get off a plane and just feel like you've arrived home.

I instantly loved just how many parks there were, how much nature was a...

Of course, the flight is not the...

Paris. The city of love. I never thought of it as a spring break destination. I guess we never think of places like Paris as spring break hot spots; we always think of places at the beach, where we can have some fun in the sun.

Paris offers everything you could ever think of and more. During your Paris stay, there are many places that you will go to that will open your eyes to a different view of the world. Visit the Louvre Museum, one of the world's more important art museums. Or take the plunge and visit the Eiffel Tower, so you can see Paris from a different angle and still be mesmerize. Or...

• New Orleans, Louisiana
  

   

  After the devastating effects of Hurricane Katrina, no one could have ever thought of New Orleans as a good travel destination year-round, much less during Spring Break. Thankfully, New Orleans is a resilient city, and the spirit there remains the same as it has always been. I decided on New Orleans for its beautiful history, for the people, and for the festive aura that remains even after going through adversity.
  
  New Orleans has a rich culture and history that is evident in everything from the architecture to the people. You can't go anywhere in New Orleans without meeting someone who is friendly and eager to tell you about the town.
