Where Will You Be Spending Your Spring Break 2011?
College students it is time for you get your group together and discuss where you want to go on Spring Break 2011. Spring is just 7 months away making this a perfect time to plan, book and get the discounts for your spring vacation. Every year thousands of college and high school students head to the beaches of Florida, the Caribbean, the Bahamas and Bermuda; waiting only puts you into competition for the best beaches and best deals.
The Grand Bahamas Island is just 55 miles off the coast of southern Florida and very easy to travel to from most major US cities. You can fly directly to the Island to Freeport’s Grand Bahama International Airport (FPO). The airport is centrally located to most of the hotels and resorts with plenty of taxis to transport you and your party to your Island destination. If you are interested in renting a car, you will have plenty of choices too, from local to national recognizable companies; however, if you do choose to rent and drive on the Island you will need to drive by British rules which means driving on the left side of the road. Handy tip for driving on the Grand Bahamas Island is always keep the shoulder of the road on your left and the center line on your right. As in the US seat belts for everyone in the car is mandatory.
If you would like to lay over in Fort Lauderdale and take passage on the Discovery Cruise Line to the Island and begin you holiday on the sea. The cruise ship offers its travelers a pool, bar, casino, a show lounge and dining facilities. This trip takes about 5 hours and you will get off the ship well fed. And of course the drinking age is 18.
The Grand Bahamas Island has many resorts to choose from but in keeping within a college budget you may want to consider an all-inclusive Bahamas vacation package. An all-inclusive vacation is exactly that-everything is included in your price; that means the cost of the room, all your meals and all your beverages whether they are alcoholic or soft, plus all taxes and gratuities are included too. If you are on a budget an all-inclusive vacation just may be what works for you. Consider the Viva Wyndham Fortuna Beach or Our Lucaya Beach and Golf Resort as the two largest resorts who offer all-inclusive vacation package.
Hotels and resorts do sell out early during the Spring Break season, as there are only so many rooms available at a given time, so booking now gives you the best selection and best early bird prices. Consult with a Bahamas Travel Specialist who can get you the best group package rates and perhaps as the group leader a free trip. With Spring Break 2011 just 7 months away and your Bahamas vacation already booked now all you have to do is get through your first semester.
