Now that Spring Break is here for all us High school people, I'd like to hear some stories some of you guys have for when you had spring break in college or high school. It'll be kinda cool seeing what some some of the old-timers have done in their time. I myself am but a freshman so I will just take these stories and *ahem* make up my own ideas on what to do.
So whos got a story?

I got stuck housesitting my parents house while my parents went partying the whole spring break, while they were partying I was cleaning up bird poop, walking two ferocious terrifying and most of all terrifying dogs, got to do some of my work though, wasn't all bad I guess, mostly played Baldur's Gate and finally beat Throne of Baal for the first time, this was after selling it first then obsessively buying it back because I did not beat it the first time, other then that is all I did.
I would like to say that I got so drunk out of my mind that I passed out and woke up in the beds of three beautiful college nymphets, and found strange satanic symbols tattoed on my stomach and legs and butt, with the strange feeling that something unholy happened the night before, unholy but I must have liked it, somehow getting the feeling that I liked it a whole lot.
Anyway that is what I would have liked to say but the reality is sadly enough more mundane then my twisted imagination can make it.

Dunno if it's interesting...
About 4-5 years ago while I was a sophomore in HS, there was a spring break trip to Spain. We sat on the runway at JFK for 2 hours before taking off. A 6 hour flight. Chicken was the meal.
The jet lag was a let down. Our hotel in Madrid was nice. Permission slips for students to have a glass of wine during dinner. Naturally half the people get drunk at the hotel's bar. That does it for any drinking.
Easter Mass was horrible. Jet lag + sermon entierly in Spanish = kids nodding off during service.
Toledo was interesting. Very small, very beautiful town. Something out of a dream. Ran out of film for the trip. Bought a sword, ankh, and chess set there. Still have them with me.
Cordoba and Seville were next. Not really memorable.
Ended with Malaga. The Mediterranean was freezing (it being early April). The last night was chilly for a walk on the beach.
Hour flight to Madrid, 6 hours back to JFK. Traffic back stateside was horrible. 2 hour bus ride back.
All in all, that was a good spring break.

I have stries that would make me a legend if they were well known, have done things that most mortal men fear to even contemplate, braved dangers that would horrify even the stoutest heart. Yes my friends, I have lived enough during spring break past to fiil volumes. The thrills, the women, the living within a breath of death itself...............................
Unfortunately, as I was also totally wasted at the time, I don't remember any of them

I used to go to Disney World a lot for Spring Break. They have a deal where you can pay a discounted fee for one park for one day and then you get into Pleasure Island for free that night (if you have a college ID). We'd pack six or eight people in a hotel room for a night; $40 per night split 8 ways is pretty cheap, then we'd draw lots for the beds and everyone else slept on the floor. It helped that I went to school in Jacksonville, FL and Orlando was only an hour and a half away. I don't have too many good stories about Orlando (we never got in much trouble), but we always managed to have a good time for not a lot of money (good news for starving college students).
My funny Spring Break story:
I had a buddy who went to Panama City Beach for Spring Break one year, got blasted at one of the bars and passed out on the beach at about 4 am. He didn't wake up until well after noon the next day and was really badly burned, but only on the front side. He got back and there was a line that ran up his body, from his legs to his ribs along his arms and up his neck. On the front side, he was lobster red (and peeling) from being passed out in the sun for over six hours. The back side of him was butt-white where he had been laying in the sand. It was pretty funny looking.

nothing too interesting, but last spring break i went to bed on sunday night, and then i didn't go to sleep again until friday night
it's the longest i've gone without sleeping, i felt really really sick and not good by wednesday though, i'm not sure what i was thinking, over the whole time period i had 24 no-doz pills, i didn't do anything too memorable, went to the beach a lot, shot buildings with paintball guns, toilet papered one girl every night of spring break, even though it wasn't even cleaned up from the previous night. played axis and allies several times. went to disneyland 3 times. i guess i'm just a pretty boring guy.
