It’s that time of year again – college students just got back from winter break and are now planning for Spring Break. Team PORTOPONG, know all about spring break, being the inventors of the world’s first inflatable beer pong table we have had our fair share of spring break debauchery. So we put together some sage like advice for all you looking to take a trip down coco loco way, the following 10 tips come to you with experience and regret, be sure to read through and have fun. Don’t forget that a poolside game of beerpong with a PORTOPONG is always the #1 tip from us but read through these other good ideas:
Let people know where you are going. Just because your in college and have this new found freedom, it is still a good idea to tell someone that you will be out of the country for the exact days and what flight number your own.
Stay with a group of friends at all times. No one is going to attack a squad of people, the numbers are just not in there favor. Don’t go it alone. Follow the buddy system to the tenth power and all will be good.
Put plenty of ‘lube’ on! Make sure you are wearing sunscreen when outside. Nobody wants to be the person in every photo that looks like a chili pepper and can’t go out at night because they are do busy hosing down with aloe vera.
Shot! Shots! Shots! Sometimes water! If you’re planning to drink on spring break (yes – duh we know that’s why you go), make sure that you are also consuming plenty of H20 – not Gatorade or Red Bull.
Trust in your friends. After a couple of drinks you may think you are always right and the guy with the aviator sunglasses and shinny badge thing is a jerk, but you went on spring break with friends – trust in them if they say stop or no.
The most amazing deals for you. When you land and go through the airport terminal a flood of people are going to come up to you and say they are part of a travel agency waiting for you, they will offer you amazing offers for added fun. They all come with hidden costs and tricks. Stick to the plan and just make a bee line for the bus outside or van you arranged for.
Mom what do I do? At the time you need it most is when it won’t be available or way out of budget. Plan to bring a small first aid kit with some U.S. based over the counter drugs. Your mom or resident family nurse won’t be able to tend to you.
Did you bring protection? We actually aren’t talking about safe sex, although you should always practice safe sex, we are talking about bringing a key chain size canister of mace should you need to ward off any unwanted visitors.
Know your cellphone! We all love posting on facebook and twitter – it is apart of our culture and who want to see you double fisting two pina coladas at the beach with 20 people around you with yellow wristbands doing the same. But – in case you didn’t know your cell phone devices are out of the country so you are going to pay almost triple the costs. Either turn your data off on your phone or get an international plan.
Watch out for balconies! Yes it might be one of the coolest pictures of your life to lean over the balcony with sunglasses on and a bottle of booze, but falling off the balcony probably gonna cause death to become you – and that’s no fun for anyone..
