Spring Break

With March only a couple of days away, one thing seems to be on everyone's mind: Spring Break. Trying to find a low cost, fun, and warm destination seems to be most people's priority and the aspect of life we are most willing to work on at this time. Last year, my roommates and I were extremely lucky when it came to planning an amazing trip. Two weeks before Spring break and we still didn't have any plans, so we were just going to all head to our homes to spend a week with family and friends. To our surprise, we received a phone call from Advantage Property Management, who we rent through, and we had won $3000 to go towards any vacation within a years time. Of course, we immediately thought Spring break and headed to the travel agency where the money was in our name. Lots of places were booked and with that short notice, flights were out of control. Finally, we came across Punta Cana located in the Dominican Republic. Everything was great and all we needed to do now was get passports in only two weeks. That same day we went to the post office, filled out a form, got a picture and spent a rediculous amount of money for a little book. Not only did we have to overnight our information there and pay for them to overnight it back, but we had to expedite the passports as well. In reality, this is a stupid thing to complain about seeing how we all just won an amazing trip that ended up costing $200.
Unfortunately, we are not in any raffle or contest this spring but we have managed to find some fun things to do. We are all going out separete ways, mostly in Florida, but I'm sure that we will manage to have a great time, somehow !
