The Caribbean

The Caribbean nations and territories are commonly thought of when imagining rest and relaxation. Jamaica, Aruba, and other islands provide the scenery and weather perfect for party-goers. Students can also take advantage of the opportunities for service work as there are considerable areas of poverty that could use the help from young, fit students.  

Florida

The climate in Florida makes the Sunshine State an all year destination choice for those seeking to escape the cooler temperatures of the north. With world-famous resorts and attractions, students can opt for the family fun of Walt Disney World in the Orlando area or the beach activities of the southern part of the state. The gulf coast of Florida provides an atmosphere more commonly associated with southern Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana.  Warm water and local cuisine and flavor await a student heading to Florida this year.

Hawaii

Hawaii is often used as a euphemism for Paradise. The mountains and beaches are plenty for students looking for variety in their vacation destination choice. Cruises are available from California as well as packages to save money on student flights. Lear to surf on the big Hawaiian waves, explore dormant volcanoes or just relax in the breezy sun of one of the gorgeous islands; Hawaii is always a good choice for vacation.

Alaska

Alaska is the number one cruise destination in the world. Because of the extreme northern latitude, cruises are only available from May to September and dates on either end of the season are often canceled due to the weather and ice conditions. If you choose a land excursion, scores of companies offer packages for exploring the wilderness of the largest state in the country. The winter offers nearly 24-hour darkness while the summer is the time of the “midnight sun.” See glaciers or Alaskan wildlife – or both!

Asia

In Asia you are as likely to see the oldest known exhibits and the gadgets of the future in the same day; a perfect spot for rest and study.

Africa

African safaris are about as adventurous as it comes.  Northern Africa boasts the nearly unimaginable pyramids and other ancient wonders while South Africa dangles as closely to Antarctica as any spot in the world.
