Condo for Spring Break?
Last year when we were deciding where to go for spring break I thought of only warm places (like most people do), Florida and Mexico being my top two picks. However my roommate and our mutual friend had something else in mind; Toronto. I was shocked when I heard their thoughts. The weather in Muncie, Indiana was terrible around spring break time and all I could think about was getting onto a plane and hopping off in sunny Florida wearing my bikini and coming back with a tan. Their plan was to drive all the way to Canada and to stay in one of the Toronto condos that they had looked at online. Although the Condos in Toronto had been a lot nicer than the crappy motel we had planned to stay in with my other group of friends in Florida, the weather seemed to be holding me back from even thinking about any other positive aspects spring break Toronto might have had.
After getting passed the weather issue, I began to weigh my options. First of all, if I went to Florida I would get to fly and if I ended up going to Toronto we would have to drive all the way there in a packed car in basically a blizzard. It sounded like a horrible plan to me and I absolutely hate driving which made it much worse. Secondly, what is there even to do in Toronto? Not that I was knocking down the idea right away, but it seemed like a no go from the start. The Toronto condos were amazing though, and there was a lot of shopping around the area where the condos were, and who doesn't like shopping? But on the other hand in Florida I could lie out, go in the pool and get a tan.
In the end I went to Florida. It seemed more like an idea of a vacation to me and really it came down to the weather and getting to fly instead of driving through the snow and black ice. But when my roommate came back with pictures I was a little envious of where they had stayed. The condo they had rented in Toronto was gorgeous (especially compared to the cheap motel we stayed in) and the scenery was amazing. Overall I had a great time in Florida and got a really deep tan, but I won't be so quick to turn down a trip like Toronto for next year.
