Spring Break Past/Future

So does anyone have any good Spring Break stories?
Anyone doing anything fun for Spring Break?

Got stuck "hot-racking" our hotel room with a group of women years ago.

For those not schooled on this hotel trick....

When going to a beach town for spring break most college students can't afford a Hilton or even a Holiday Inn on their budget (yes, even in a group...you need beer money)...so you end up at small local hotels. Since all hotels are booked up during spring break some of these places perform a maneuver called hot-racking...basically they double-book the room. They do this so that they can earn twice the revenue on one room.

It works because...you get there and are happy you are there...you get to the room...see that someone else is already there but gone (this is what the hotel hopes for) and when you go to complain...they simply say...well everything is sold out...you can either all work it out and stay together in the same room or you can all sleep in your car or go home. So most people...stick it out.

My experience although initially left a raw taste in my mouth...soon changed when the 5 hotties that were booked in our room came back and had no problem with us staying there. Long story short...I don't even remember seeing sand the whole time we were there that year...but then again my memory is getting bad these days.

My BEST spring break ever story (not for that faint of heart) :)

So the first time I ever went anywhere for spring break was I want to say like 3 years ago. Me and about 10 people drove down to Rocky Point (for those who don't know Rocky Point it's like our Rosartio/Ensenada). I was intent on making this a memorable one so...:)

Our hotel room was amazing (we had to sneak a couple people in so that we could afford a cheap room). It overlooked the ocean, we were on the top floor and our balcony had a hot tub. So our first night there, we got the bubbles going and about 7 (4 girls and 3 guys) of us got into the tub. Let's just say that when you are in Mexico, with a hot tub (full of bubbles) and a bottle of rum CRAZY GOINGS ON OCCUR. I don't want to say much more because really what happened in Mexico STAYS IN MEXICO!

Since we all know and respect that you are happily spoken for...are any of your (girl) friends from this trip going on spring break somewhere this year...I'd be more than happy to go with them...of course to help save money on the hotel room...and I'll be more than happy to bring a bottle of rum, let me know.

Oh well...sounds like it could have been fun. Guess I'll just have to settle for going back to the same hotel I was at before.

UGH! LUCKY! It's like spring break for you year round! There's no beaches near AZ. The closest thing we have is a lake (man-made ones too!).

All I gotta say is that me and my friends have all gotten pretty lucky at Casino Royale. I went like 3 weekends ago and I won $200 on a freaking penny machine and my boy won like $125 at craps. Not a bad night. The tables there are cheaper than the bigger named hotels.

Well...pick up the other half and a few of your friends and move over here to south florida with us...I got beaches from West Palm to Miami...cover any kind of need you well...ummm...need. I'll probably hit Lauderdale and Miami myself. Get a spot early (parking and beach) or you won't get one at all.

Watch out for the sharks and the sea lice (a.k.a. baby jellyfish)...already had a few shark attacks this year. Was thinking about doing some surfing...but not sure at this point.
