March 30, 2016: It’s an annual event — spring break — schools close and send students off with their friends (if old enough) or holiday fun-seeking parents to invade beaches, theme parks, and any other place with open space, easy access to booze and a police force that kind of looks the other way. This years spring break runs from early March until mid April, with most travelers landing at US domestic locations. The number one gathering state is Florida with California close behind. The TC recently did his spring break in Galveston, Texas. This somewhat weathered resort location (that includes a well used cruise ship port), features miles of open beaches (this year full of pesky jelly fish) and hundreds of motel/hotel rooms that will pack families or groups of 4-8 in very tight quarters. Overweight heavily tattooed adults, booze in hand, populate most hotel pools. For the more adventurous, old town Galveston is worth the visit with numerous places to dine, snack or drink — and all the shops you’d expect close to a major cruise ship port — including a Witchery, where wanna be or professional witches can browse for merchandise needed to support their calling. The best part of spring break in any location is when it’s over and the locals can add up the revenue, repair the damage and take their own break!
