Interesting Spring Break Facts

South Padre & Spring Break Fact Sheet
• Nearly as far South as Miami, Florida

• The driest month is March (spring break) with only 1.22 inches of rain on average
Competition is Panama City Beach, FL with 6.22 inches of rain on average

• Average high is 75 degrees in March with temps around 80 very common. Average
Low is 62 degrees, 15 degrees warmer than Panama City Beach - competition of Panama City Beach, FL is 70 degrees in March with average low of 47 degrees

• Nearly 50,000 college students come to Island over 6 weeks of spring break

• Spring Break is often incorrectly attributed to have started in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This is false. The first organized spring break trips were in 1967 by (now defunct) Cervinik-Anderson Travel of Phoenix, Arizona on a train for a weekend trip from Phoenix to Mazatlan, Mexico

• South Padre Island gained its huge popularity due to fact from 1984 to September 1, 1986 Texas refused to raise drinking age to 21 like majority of other US States, allowing minors to drink. Party revelers flocked because of this. States that did not raise their legal age lost millions in Federal funding for roads causing Texas to follow suit. Only Louisiana waited longer

• While drinking age in Texas is 21, Texas allows minors 18+ to be in bars & nightclubs as long as they do not consume alcohol

• As of the census of 2000, there were 2,422 people, 1,211 households, and 662 families residing in the town

• The average elevation of South Padre Island is just 7 feet above sea level

• South Padre Island, TX can trace its roots back to the 16th Century, when a Spanish explorer named Alonso Alvarez de Pineda discovered it

• It is legal to drink on beach on South Padre Island & have open containers if 21 years old

Why South Padre Island is popular now (see also South Padre Facts)

• You can drive there = no flight costs + you can do shorter trips

• Safety – it’s within US borders = parents saying a-ok to trip

• Huge condos popular – can accommodate large Greek groups

• Kegs legal on beach = large day parties & low cost consumption

• Coca Cola has huge beachfront entertainment stage in March (free entry)

• Several clubs in South Padre hold over 2500 people, including Louies Backyard

• Weather is warmest of any popular US spring break destination = great tanning

• American Airlines, Continental, and Southwest all provide flights at low cost

• Lots to do for very low cost – dolphin watch tours $15/person, surfing lessons $50/person, party yacht “booze cruises” $20/person, banana boat rides $15/person, bay fishing $20/person

• City of South Padre Island is PRO-spring break (unlike Florida). We see students as future, lifelong clients meaning Texas-welcoming committee on hand for college clients

Simply, South Padre Island is unquestionably the lowest cost & more affordable spring break vacation a student can choose. Objection of “can’t afford” overcome easily.
Example:
-7 night “almost all inclusive” packages with Inertia tours with a beachfront condo, 2 meals per day, and VIP cover charges every night to a different club plus 2 side trips are still under $500/person

How you’ll afford Spring Break this year

Many college students often dream about going away to a great spring break hot spot but wonder, how can I afford it?

We will tell you how!

The Basics:

* Consider a road trip within the US to South Padre Island, Texas – Panama City Beach, Florida or if you like to ski, Breckenridge Colorado. Skipping the flight saves you $300 to $500 alone – and cars these days are reliable. Road trips with condos, meals, & parties are under $500 per person total price.

*Book as soon as possible. Spring Break Travel Agencies like http://www.inertiatours.com or http://www.collegeskipackages.com have deals where you put $150 down per person (which comes off the price of the trip) and you can make monthly payments on the balance for 5 or 6 months making the trips affordable. Getting a last minute spring break trip deal is not realistic, and only fools think that will work. As hotels & airlines fill up, they raise rates!

*Book as a group if possible. The more people you have, the more people you have splitting up the cost of the condo, the lower the cost. Talk to people – spread the word.

The Good Girl Way:

1.) Your Part Time Job
If you already have a part time job and are working, say 15 hours a week for $10 / hour (easy math, use a calculator here) bump your hours up just 4 per week. That’s $40/week extra, or $160 per month. If you book your spring break trip in September, consider this. Book a $500 trip to South Padre Spring Break, and you’d have a balance of $350 due, or $85/month.

This is great news! Your 4 hours a week extra will not only make the payment, you’ll stockpile $160-$85/month = $75/month x 4 months = $300 for spending money – and it won’t effect any of your other spending!

2.) Christmas or Birthday present or money from these events
Ask for half of your spring break package to get covered as a Christmas present. Obviously, we all get to ask for something for Christmas – ask for a trip!

3.) Sign up as a Campus Rep and promote the trips on your campus
If you get 14 people to sign up with a company like http://www.springbreakpackages.com, for every 14 trips you sell, you earn a free trip. If you & your friends are going, someone has to plan the trip anyway. You volunteer, and the tour company will compensate you for that

The bad girl ways:

1.) Use your student loan money
You’re only in college once, and you have your whole life to worry about “working” and “money” or the “bad economy.” Take out a tad extra on your student loan, or cancel a class if your parents pay for your school and take the money to pay for the trip. It’s less than $500 anyway

2.) Tell your friend to sign you up & offer to pay later
They pay your $150 deposit, and when it comes time to pay them back, play dumb. Offer to pay the balance & still go, but that you can’t come up with the deposit right now – but never do. Is this wrong? Yes. We said this was the bad girl way to go!

3.) Use your credit card
You can then spread the cost of the trip out over a full year. Sure, you’ll pay interest, but you’re already paying interest on gas, beer, etc. you put on it, a vacation for spring break is an experience that’ll last a lifetime

While this list isn’t exhaustive, we hope it’s helpful to you. Please contact us toll free 800 821 2176 or email us info@inertiatours.com if you need some advice.

Spring Break Hangovers

How to Avoid a Spring Break Hangover:

1.) Don’t drink the cheapest booze or beer. Usually, it’s not distilled as much, and those impurities can make you ill the next day

2.) Drink Lots of Water the day of your drinking binge, and that night, drink 8 oz per 12 oz of alcoholic beverage you consume. You’ll automatically feel better the next day. This is often called “the old drunks” rule

3.) Drink pure alcohol with water and a squeeze of lime or lemon. Rum & Water. Kettle One & Water, etc. The sugar in alot of drinks dehydrates you and gives you a headache

4.) Take a Ibuprofen before you go to sleep

5.) Sleep in a cool, comfortable room and allow yourself 12 hours of sleep the night of your binging so you are refreshed the next day.

When you awake, while greasey food is what you’ll crave - don’t do it. Each a very bland first meal, and you’ll be ready for partying that night.

Cancun, Mexico - air, beachfront hotels, meals - price is $839/person

We can do this - book a spring break 2010 trip to Cancun, Mexico and get on the beach for under $850 per person with Inertia Tours.

Cancun, Mexico is a great spring break choice for this reason:

1.) Clearest/cleanest water of any spring break destination that’s popular
2.) The hotels have all 100% been upgraded to near 5 star quality making them the nicest of any spring break destination
3.) The club/party infrastructure is rivaled only by Acapulco - but Cancun is much nicer
4.) Cancun has the most to do of any spring break destination. You can go shopping, swimming, scuba/snorkel, swim with the dolphins, go see the Mayan ruins, take a catamaran to Isla Mujeres (an island off the coast of Cancun, my fav!) or eat at incredible restaurants.
5.) As far as air/hotel goes, it’s pretty much the lowest cost destination south of the US that’s also the nicest.

The old “Cancun is for high schoolers” is false. It’s the nicest destination for spring break. Call chad 800 821 2176 if you have questions or need advice about Cancun. (that’s me!) I’ve lived there for 6 week pieces of time, and can tell you all about it very quickly and book you into an incredible package.
