Spring Break Has Sprung...

We've seen the banner planes flying, towing banners for the folks on the beach to read... a sure sign that spring break is here. Traffic in Port Isabel and South Padre Island over the weekend was heavy. Texas week is March 11th through the 18th, meaning the weekends on either side of that will be packed; that's the week most Texas schools have off.

Bookings at the hotels and condos are up this year, so a busy spring break is anticipated. Our friends who are here asked how we deal with the spring breakers: easy, we do our beach walking in the mornings, make our runs to the store in the mornings, have lunch out at noon, and try to stay off the roads in the afternoon and evenings.

The estimates generally run in the 100,000 range for spring break visitors during that month or so that they're here - definitely a big economic plus.
