Bro. Bro. BRO! It's spring break, bro. We got mad PBR, I got us a hookup on a killer suite right on the beach, Fat Steve's bringing his cousin's PA system and Dooker's gonna DJ until the police shut us down. It's gonna be siiiiick, bro.
If you're as turned off by reading the previous sentences as I was by writing them, congratulations on being a grownup.
Don't throw on the polo shirt and hop in the sensible crossover SUV just yet, though-there are still a few drops of youthful energy in you. There is still that yearning to break free from the daily monotony and enjoy a sun-baked spring break somewhere beautiful.
It's just that you've reached the age where your idea of fun does not necessarily entail drinking keg beer out of a funnel until you vomit on somebody. Good for you.
When you're ready for a spring break that doesn't automatically end with the word "WHOOOO," check out the following destinations.

The author freely admits to some small measure of homerism in this case, but the fact is: My hometown is tailor-made for that more refined spring break experience.
Bring your golf buddies and hit up the island's 24 golf courses (just keep in mind some are still recuperating from the tumult of Hurricane Matthew) or watch co-eds play beach volleyball from your seat at the world-famous Tiki Hut. Or, bring that special someone for a romantic stroll along secluded sandy beaches before sharing a meal of mouth-watering local oysters (a known aphrodisiac, and damn tasty to boot).
