Cancun - Travel Deals

Now that all the Spring Break partying is over and the college kids have gone home to chug beer in their dorms, Cancun is the place to go for bargain travelers or for those looking to get a head start on their summer tans. Like any other popular tourist destination, Cancun is not perfect. In fact, it can be downright cheesy. But cheesy can be a good thing. Sometimes you need to go to the museum. Sometimes you need to watch an Adam Sandler movie. Cancun is a Sandler movie.

The purveyor of Cancun bargains this week is Spirit Airlines, which will fly you from Fort Lauderdale to Cancun for $79 one way. Why someone who lives in a sunny part of Florida would want to depart for and equally sunny part of Mexico is a question for another day. The fact is that the cheap flights are also available from any number of the east coast cities where Spirit flies.

The hotel deals in Cancun are equally tasty this time of year with some of them practically begging for your business. Just make sure you look under your bed when you check in. You might find a passed out college kid.

Back when I was in college the first thing I did each year was finalize my Spring Break plans. Forget figuring out my class schedule, never mind paying for textbooks, it was that delightful time off in the spring that was always my top priority. You would have no trouble seeing that if you took a look at my transcript. Fortunately I burned all records of my scholastic achievement so you’ll never know how awful I did on the Astronomy 101 final.

Realizing that my Spring Break planning was the exception to the usual slacker rule, it is worth pointing out that even if you haven’t made Spring Break plans – hell, even if you just want to get away from some sun and relaxation – it is still possible to purchase airplane tickets to Cancun that will cost less than the Economics textbooks you are never going to read anyway.

If you are past the age where kegstands seem like a fun way to spend an afternoon, Cancun is still large enough and interesting enough to make for a pleasant vacation destination. If you are at the age where kegstands are part of your daily ritual then get going with your airline reservations right now. Just make sure to save some matches so that you can burn your transcripts later on.

My apologies in advance for today’s punfully bad post title. I guess I was just so excited about the thought of jetting to Cancun on an airplane for less than $400 that I wanted to share my glee with you, fair reader. You see, Cancun is more than just a place to do keg stands and pick up chicks from Michigan State during Spring Break, it is a year-round resort town where the sun always shines and the party never stops. If that isn’t your style, you can simply go there to sit on the beach or to practice your Spanish or to get away from the kids or to spend a holiday with the kids or to, well, you get the idea.

If you’d like to see Cancun and you don’t want to see it when seven million college kids are there screaming “chug, chug, chug,” there is a non-Spring Break deal floating around that might make your dreams a reality. For a meager $435, you can fly to Cancun on Jet Blue and stay at a hotel for 4 nights. That deal is sicker than how you’ll feel if you drink the water there. What’s more, you get to stay in Hilton hotel so you’ll be supporting a celebrity heiress in the process!

Seriously, Cancun is not the worst place to go to get some sun and at a price like this you could probably put up with the “chug, chug, chug” even by a gal named Paris.
