I know Spring Break is a few weeks in March but it doesn't talk about it in detail.
Anyone have better information? March 1st - March 31st?
Heading down to RP Monday.
Thanks
This year Spring break is March 4 - 20th. You will miss the largest crowds here this weekend. The crowds are pretty tame compared to 15-20 years ago.
The 45,000 number is optimistic at best, 25k is more realistic, when spread over 17 days is manageable.
The only big issue will be crossing the border both ways Fri-Mon during those 3 weekends it falls on.
Expect a wait when crossing at peak times. Look on-line for border waits.
Thanks brokenwave for the information.
I will be heading down next Monday for two weeks of relaxation, fish and shrimp tacos and a few drinks. lol
The weather looks really great and staying mild so I'm ready now but can wait until some of the kids go home.
Been here since Saturday morning and so far you would not even know it's spring break. No unusual traffic, restaurants have been just normal, nothing crazy happening.
At 1200 noon, Saturday the line at the border going into Mexico is 1.5 miles, no fun. Tons of traffic heading north. Based on the cars in ajo and gila bend it's going to be even worse by 1 to 2pm.
It took 1.5 hours, on the US side there was 2 agents talking to drivers and 6 just standing around laughing, the Mexico agents were waving most people through and only stopping vehicles towing enclosed trailers.
Weather is perfect and some nice crowds at changos and jjs.
A whole week of this bliss, Nice.
