Get a Job over the break ( I know…sounds lame) but that’s exactly what I did last year and now, I’m going to Cancun, Mexico for my break! Beats Florida. A little sacrifice can go a loonnnnggg way!

Ah well, go to New York!
I am Canadian, heh, but from what I can tell Ohio is kind of close..?
I bussed to NYC last summer, and I was only 19 and I went with someone who was 18. Because in the USA you can’t rent a hotel room before you’re 21 we went on craigslist.com and rented an apartment – a much smarter idea! You can cook your own food in the apartment, and if you get one in a good location (do research!) it is super safe! It ended up being a lot cheaper than a hotel – plus you end up feeling like a ‘real’ New Yorker, a bonus in a city full of confused tourists. New York is a lot more ‘cultured’ than going to Florida for spring break – and there is a lot more to see – you just won’t be able to drink or anything. New York really wasn’t as scary as I thought it was going to be, either, so don’t be too worried about going there as a teen, everyone was really nice to us. Do New York! If you’ve never been there before, you’ve got to go there! If you go with a few friends, it will only cost you like 250$ each to rent the apartment for the week, and I came from Canada and it only cost me $200 to bus to NYC and back from Ottawa – I am sure it’ll be cheaper for you. New York offers a lot of free stuff to do, it is just the hotel and food that’ll end up costing you – so rent an apt. and cook your own! Going back to your apt. shouldn’t be a big deal either, get a 7 day subway pass – it’ll end up taking you 15 minutes tops to get back to your place.
If you need any help planning stuff – I could even give you the info for the person I rented from – the apartment was near times square AND central park (near columbus circle) and all the tips I can think of to save some $$.
Good luck!
