Spring Break Is Almost Here February 22, 2008

As a teacher, I seriously count down the days to Spring Break. At this point, it’s only two weeks away! I’m not excited because I’m planning on going anywhere, however. At least nowhere close to where I’m at. During Spring Break, the Texas coast becomes ridiculous with hoards of college students, many wearing bikinis and freezing in the completely unpredictable weather. Prices skyrocket, and it’s just not a really good time to take your eight-year-old to the beach. The thing is, your eight-year-old wants to go to the beach. So the thing to do is to then check out
flights to South Africa. There are plenty of beaches in South Africa, right? And I’ll wager they’re better than any of the ones on the Texas coast, which feature brown water, rotting seaweed, and a plethora of tar that sticks to your feet. If we went to the beach in South Africa, we might even get to see zebras. Although I doubt they’re on the beach. It would be really cool if they were, though, right? It would be kinda like the movie Madagascar, and my kiddo would definitely enjoy that.

At any rate, we definitely need an alternative to the Spring Break status quo around these parts.

    That sounds nice and all, but I still think I’d prefer college students in bikinis. =P

    Watch out Kelvin, many aren’t college students at all and are very underage :-P When I was in high school the thing to do was to drive down to Padre Island, act like a college student and get free beer… and this is guys and gals from Kansas, I can imagine people coming from further away than that as well and closer doing the same.
