Despite its reputation, Spring Break isn’t just for students. A quick trip to a fascinating destination and some great weather can benefit travelers of all ages–especially after being cooped up in our homes for the better part of a year.
As the weather shakes off the last bit of winter chill and the warm spring comes on, travelers become more and more eager to get out and grab a little slice of the world. But this year, like last year, ongoing public health and safety concerns must be taken into account.
As we plan our Spring Break getaways, it’s important to research and plan for all applicable public health and safety restrictions–both at our destinations and in the airports responsible for getting us there. After the due diligence is done, you can get back to the truly important decisions like where to go and what to do!
As we all travel responsibly and keep health and safety in mind, these quick destinations offer something special when traveling from South Bend International Airport!
New Orleans–Beyond Mardi Gras
When the word came down that Mardi Gras would be cancelled in 2021, the people of New Orleans responded in the only way they knew–by dressing themselves and their porches in that same flamboyant style famous in America and across the world.
Though there won’t be any parades this year, that same New Orleans spirit–in addition to all the food, drinks, and unforgettable music–makes NOLA a top destination for a little springtime R&R.
From the famous jazz ensembles playing in the streets, clubs, and cemeteries, to the one-of-a-kind cuisine that put the city on the map, New Orleans still has style, personality, and possibility for every Spring Break traveler looking to break free. A double-dose of history makes New Orleans suitable for families while the famous nightlife beckons to single couples and parents alike!
Savannah–Georgia on my Mind
The “southern gothic” style still reigns supreme in Savannah, GA–a low-country oddity that feels both southern and not-so southern. For curious travelers, Savannah is an ideal getaway to absorb some hidden cultural wonders. Stroll throughout the historic district ducking into old churches and courtyards shaded by live oaks, or take a riverside stroll with a drink in hand.
Savannah is also known for its incomparable foodie scene. From comfort food like Geneva’s Famous Chicken and Cornbread, to the modern upmarket dining you can find at Treylor Park, there are countless restaurants for eaters of all stripes!
Perhaps best of all, Savannah can be gleefully explored on a modest budget.
