Holiday breaks
Spring break abroad from the US: where fits
Spring break is set by each school district or university and is not universally in March — dates vary, so check your own calendar. From the US East Coast, a week makes Europe or the Caribbean realistic; Asia needs more days than most spring breaks allow.

What to weigh
- Mexico and the Caribbean are popular spring-break ideas, so book early if your dates are fixed (planning suggestion).
- Southern Europe can suit city and food trips in spring (planning suggestion).
- Split the budget fairly: the estimate is for the whole group, not per person.
