September 11th Effects Spring Break Travel
by Ashlan Gorse

Bahamas, San Francisco, Spain, Maine, and Winston-Salem, North Carolina are just some of the hot travel destinations.

With Spring Break only a month and a half away, students are getting excited about their travel destinations.

"I am so excited about going to Jamaica with three of my friends. We're going to have a blast," said UNC-Chapel Hill senior Mary Allison Haywood.

But some students are waiting until the last minute to make their plans. According to Tiffany Felde, manager of STA Travel on Franklin Street, there have been a lot of last-minute planners. "We have been so busy. I think a lot of students were waiting until after the holidays to see what was going to happen next," Felde stated.

This year students aren't just dreaming about sunny beaches and exotic places. They're concerned about their safety in the skies. But September 11th hasn't changed where students are going for Spring Break, just how they're getting there.

Travel agents say that cruises are very popular this year.

Some students are going the distance by driving to their destinations to avoid air travel.

While safety is important to travelers after the terrorist attack, most students are excited about relaxing and taking a break from classes.
