I am in the process of making my spring vacation plans. I would like to avoid the Spring Break/Easter recess crowds of families and kids on vacation. Does anyone know when these dates are for 2003? Thanks

Every state, county and school district are potentially different. If you want to avoid all spring breaks just throw March and April out the window. If Easter is all you care about, then the calendar says Easter is April 20.

Thank you. We do not have kids and are not kids, otherwise we would have known the answer to that question! I am assuming mid May 2003 should not be a problem!?!

Mid-May is perfect (especially if you are going to Florida! You did not say where.) Where I live March Break is March 11-15

Just stumbled across this site for Spring Breaks<BR>http://interoz.com/springbreak/sbdates.htm

I guess actually looking at a calendar was out of the question, Anna.

In much of the northeast US schools have 2 separate weeks - one in February inclusive of Presidents' Day and another in April, sometimes including Easter, sometimes not. Other parts of the country and many private schools have 1 or 2 weeks in March, at varying times. Colleges tend to be March sometime.<BR><BR>So winter before Presidents' Day or after mid-April would be &quot;safe&quot;. You can also avoid some crowds by destination selection. The problem with that is that destinations less &quot;kid-friendly&quot; still attract families and then the kids are sometimes bored and less supervised. And, yes, I am a parent and not a routine kid-basher, but I can fully understand peoples' wish to vacation with minimal annoyances from kids of others and hope to be able to do that myself sometime if I am not bankrupt from college tuition.<BR>
