I first visited Cancun over Spring break. While I don't remember a great deal about that trip, according to the photos: I had a terrific time. Since then, I have visited Cancun over 20 times and while my activities may have changed while I am there, my love for the place has not. Besides the beautiful...

Our destination for our senior spring break trip: Panama City Beach, Florida. We had heard that it was the place to be for spring break, and there was no doubt in our minds that we had to check it out for ourselves. The drive down was great.

As a teenager growing up in Ft. Lauderdale in the 1960s, I was fortunate to be able to spend Spring Break on Ft. Lauderdale Beach every weekend. The beautiful two-mile strip of sandy beach and azure ocean on A1A from Las Olas Boulevard north to Broward Boulevard was always packed with young people, loud...
