I've never been on a spring break trip - no experience to draw from. However - I'd prefer traveling to Florida - as I'm guessing drunk American college students can be easy targets in Mexico and Brazil -
My only Spring Break trip was to Florida. I rode with friends to Gainsville (good weed on campus), hitchhiked to Ft Lauderdale (cops kicked me off the beach at nite) then hitched agai to Key Largo. Fun trip made lots of friends, got to dive the coral reefs, chase beautiful (and willing) coeds and learned that not all people are jerks, but a few really tip the scales toward assholes.
But that was in '72, I'm guessing things may have changed a little since then.
I've never understood the exodus of people to warm weather in March. I live in one of the worst weather states in the country and I love March. (especially late March). 50's and 60's is perfect weather. I go south in January & February. I love spring in the Midwest.
Fort Lauderdale killed spring break in South Florida now all the spring breakers head to Panama City Beach in the Panhandle on the Gulf of Mexico
To Motor spring break refers to the break between semesters it is usually in March or April two weeks between semesters time enough to go and have some fun
Ah, spring break! About 15 years a went to FLA panhandle during spring break. My buddy did not want to rent to college kids so we went down to do some work on his condo. 3rd floor overlooking the beach. My buddy was gone a lot during the day, so I came up with a system and it was easy pickings. Spot a target that was alone, strike up a conversation from the balcony, make a big show of pouring a big Jack Daniel's drink.
What I have always wanted to do was to go to Florida to catch a few spring training games - then after a day at the ballpark - enjoy a few strip clubs at night. Spend a few mornings on the beach too. Make a week of it - then head back up north.
Miami/South-Beach is a pretty good scene but it’s not exactly thee Spring-Break destination as Ft Lauderdale was back in the day (or Daytona Beach or Panama City after that).
But still; Spring-Break is mostly for young people in their late teens and early-20s – most of us PLs would be out of place in that scene.

Acapulco sucks. Rio is far and you need a visa. Cancun is nice, close and cheap.

"East St. Louis"
That sounds more like a gang zone, not a spring break destination.

No spring break for me. I don't even think that way.
