Why to consider Puerto Vallarta Spring Break

Why Puerto Vallarta Spring Break?

*Puerto Vallarta is probably the overall “classiest” spring break destination in Mexico. The hotels are very nice, the restaurants are good, and the service
Is first class. It lacks some of the traditional, trashy contests…

*Spring Break in Puerto Vallarta offers some of the best array of dining available in Mexico. While this might not seem all that important, food matters to your belly

*Puerto Vallarta is more of a cozy bar scene than the huge “club” scene – and many people prefer this as it is somewhat easier to meet people / friendlier.

*There are not really any bad areas in Puerto Vallarta – it truly is a tourist
Destination with good safety aspects unlike some other places you can choose

*The Malecon boulevard downtown. This spectacular boulevard downtown set along side the bay/Pacific ocean offers some of the most beautiful sunsets on spring break. The Malecon is also a strip of fun bars & restaurants that are beachview like Zoo Bar & Carlos O’Briens, to name a few

*It’s an authentic Mexican city full of culture. Unlike for example Cancun, Puerto Vallarta is a city in and of itself. That means you’ll get to bust out
Spanish, and learn something unique about Mexico we feel. The outdoor
Market is an example of this.

*Great mix of familiarity with some American restaurants crossed with many mom & pop local places that are super fun to discover.

*The overall lack of huge spring break travel volume If you are looking for
A destination that is still the beach, Mexico, & fun, but lacks huge flocks
Of college students, Puerto Vallarta makes arguably the best spring break destination choice.

Puerto Vallarta is a great choice for those spring break student travelers that would like to chose a destination that is not ultra-packed, has a unique cultural experience, and still offers great hotels

The Saida Towers Complex - The Ultimate South Padre Spring Break Stay

I’m going to give a quick run down on why, if you are seeking the best possible accommodations on all the “big three” reasons (nice i.e..posh inside, great location, party), Saida Towers is your best choice in South Padre Island for spring break.

Ok, granted you’ll notice we have Saida Towers listed as the “ultimate” within the booking or reservation pricing engine so it seems like we might be pushing it for profitable reasons. Sure, we have lots of condos there. However, there are several really, really great reasons to choose this place if a.) you have 6 or more people going (cuts down on the cost), b.) it might be your Senior year, and you want to go all out or c.) you went on spring break last year to wherever, stayed at the cheap place, (as you were sold that you’ll never been in the room anyway — well, of course not if it sucks.) anyway you stayed at the cheap place and were like, mo fo, for $100 extra I could have stayed over THERE (insert the name of the party hotel that’s really nice here). This would be Saida Towers.

Quick Description:

The Saida consists of 4 towers that have literally hundreds of condos inside. The units are all individually owned, so there is not a “front desk” to go to for service. The complex has 3 swimming pools, and 3 hot tub areas. One of the best features at Saida is that Turk’s is the onsite Bar & Restaurant — and the food is actually super, super good (albeit bar food like burgers & fried shrimp).
Saida is located beachfront on the Gulf of Mexico, in what is considered the “Beach South” location.

All the condos at Saida feature a full kitchen open to a living room area, separate bedroom (s), and generally, multiple bathrooms (girls, take note….1 bathroom for 6 people is a nightmare getting ready for you all). Every condo is right on the pool, facing the ocean, with a private patio & door to the oceanview.

Location:

Saida Towers is located (as above) on the Southern end of South Padre Island. This is a key place to be as you can walk to the entertainment district and the bars/clubs like Chaos, Palm Street Pier, Pelican West, Louies, Tequila Sunset, & more. Further, RIGHT in front of Saida is a very key establishment…that being Ben’s Liquor Store. Ben’s is key because it’s literally less than a 50 yard walk from the front entrance gate to Saida. At Saida, you can bring in all of your own liquor/beer — many hotels, you cannot. (we’ll talk more about this under Party).

Want to grab a quick bite to eat? Great, walk there. Kohnami Japanese (on our Free ta’ Eat Diner Program, by the way) has killer Sushi & a hibachi Japanese grill for grilled chicken if you’re Sushi scared. Or, walk to The Pantry Diner, McDonald’s, Sunset Deli, or Denny’s. (go to www.inertiatours.com /mealplans for more details.

One of the most important things about Saida is that the area in front of Saida & the Radisson hotel is staged by the Coca Cola Corporation, and there a gads of Corporate sponsors throwing down contests, free souvenirs, and some fun, challenging games (tug o war, the Marine wall, etc). What happens is, THE WHOLE ISLAND during the day converges on this beach (called the Coca Cola Beach) and parties their ass off. As Kegs are legal on the beach in South Padre during spring break — imagine what happens: literally HUNDREDS of kegs all set up with Fraternity flags at full mast. If you stay at Saida, then you can just walk out your front door, beer in hand, down to the beach (open containers are legal on the beach!!!). Get your drink going, then walk back.
Well, then why not the Radisson? Well, we’re not dogging the Radisson, but the place isn’t all condos like Saida, they can be dicky about you bringing in your own booze, and security is too Gestapo for fear of (I don’t know, a drunk sorority girl? It’s ridiculous).
The security at Saida, while also tight (crowd control really) are much more level headed.

Oh yeah, we see some sites promoting “Saida/Royale” — yep, they share the same pool area. Guess what? Royale is more of a hotel, and you could end up with a standard room instead of a posh condo. Plus, it has its own front desk, and another layer of security problems (i.e…you can get blocked with your hot date for the night, a real drag). Don’t get fooled. Get a guaranteed condo at one of the 4 Saida Towers, don’t buy the b.s. Royale Beachclub is the same, or don’t book it. (at Inertia, we guarantee you’ll stay at Saida Towers)

Nice/Posh Inside:

Saida Towers has only one, two, and three bedroom condos. Each condo faces the ocean, has a private beachfront patio, a great view, and separate bedrooms. What we’ve seen most is, at Saida, you can BRING EVERYONE and you can ALL STAY together. Our groups of girls really like that for a lot of different reasons — plus ladies tend to be much sharper/brighter than dudes when it comes to booking their spring break trips — they use a tour like Inertia, and they book the best condo we have (Saida). Guess what? They also have a much more kick ass trip & time!

For our female travelers, having multiple bathrooms means cutting the “get ready time” by each bathroom extra in half, or even by a 1/3 (our three bedrooms have 3 bathrooms usually!!!). Plus, think about the after & before pregaming cocktails — not only does this save you money, it’s also fun as all hell. Nothing in my mind makes your spring break experience as complete as easily meeting a bunch of other cool party people staying right down the floor from you…so much more fun. The kitchens are all fully stocked, and yes, towels & bed linens are of course provided for (but not daily maid service).

The average value of our condos is well over $425,000 there — yeah, that’s alot for Texas real estate. Stay at the best place possible. Also, the difference in price is negligible. Did you know that it will probably save you only about $100 per person for the week to stay at a nice condo on the beach, vs. staying at THE CONDO at Saida on the beach? Do the math…that’s less than $15 per day extra to experience THE BEST — treat yourself. Please do understand, at Inertia, we have GREAT condos to suit all budgets, and we certainly don’t want you NOT coming on spring break because you can’t afford to really go, but our less expensive units you CAN make work & come — that’d be stupid. (In later blogs I will individually “sell” you why that place is the best to stay at of course).

The Party:

Well, this is THE reason to stay here, and has been referred to above several times. Unquestionable, Saida, through Inertia Tours making it so, has turned into the island hottest pre-game party hot spot. We mentioned the location which is key for the daytime events & parties on the beach. Next up, those huge condos are great for meeting your neighbors.

At Saida, (and EVERYWHERE in Padre during spring break)…if you after bar/throw that rager, you’re gonna get kicked the F out….but overall, what if you want to meet someone really easy, have a drink with them, and then maybe hook up later…Saida is a very good choice.

Folks, this is why I’d stay at Saida if I could stay ANYWHERE in South Padre Island during spring break…and as one of the Big Hats here, I can…so…..it’s kinda like the VP at a Hilton Hotel telling you WHAT IS THE BEST HILTON in the world…she might know, right?

Remember, I’m always only a phone call or email away if you need more specific reasons or information about ANY condo / hotel in South Padre. We pride ourselves on being Texas Friendly here in Austin!

What I hate about flying - lots of cursing, don’t read if that pisses you off

Let me list everything I hate about flying……this is very poddy mouthed….be warned!!!!

1.) The ridiculous check in process

You get an “e ticket” — then you are emailed a reminder to “check in early” …only to a - do so, but notice b - every seat is full, and you are stuck in the middle row. Then, you arrive at the airport to again, use a terminal to “check in” (usually there is a person behind these kiosks since old people, white trash, and anyone who rarely flies can’t figure them out), then you again stand in line to check your bags. Guess what happens next? A real person checks your ID. Now your bag is “over the limit” — $75 please…(a scam the DOT is allowing airlines to perpetrate since 9/11…they actually don’t want heavy bags because it costs more jet fuel). Overall, you can see how inefficient airlines really are. They could have had JUST A BUNCH OF PEOPLE standing behind the counter, take your id, print your boarding passes, and you’re outta there…no need for them to spend $5555 million on that “early check in,” another $93882 million on the kiosk, and $125,000 on two employees that they would have needed to have anyway, without any union cuts.

Overall, as a business, Inertia would be “outta business” if we ran our show as inefficiently, and in such a time consuming, cumbersome way.

2.) Security

Yeah, ok. We all were pretty pissed & “understanding” after 9/11, weren’t we? So, the DOT working with our Congress, decided to pass “new security measures.” I particularly loved the color coding of the “terror” we should be “keeping alert for.” (you know, arabs with turbins, people from Waco, the French, and the Senior Citizen World War II veterans) (oh shit, whoops! no way, not them too?!!!)

Here is what I’m saying. It’s annoying that Americans pretend to not be racist. We go out of way to “prove” we aren’t. So, we have to apply “equally annoying” standards of security to all. Ok, I get that. Loud and clear. However, EVERY time I go through security, I have a new game called “can I sneak on the water” or “can I sneak on the stapler” or the ever favorite “can I bring on the nail clipper” routine. About 10% of the time, they actually find this stuff. Are we more safe with all this bullshit? Not really. We all know it. The “terrorists” know it, too. Just like in TJ (Tijuana) with drug smuggling, they pretty much know that if they try hard enough, with enough people, shit that shouldn’t get through, will get through. So why the security delays? I think, to make ignorant people feel safer.

The most annoying thing in my opinion is the fact that you have to take your shoes off when you go through the metal detector…next time you do…go ahead and look down at the floor….guess what…the GRANITE ingrained cement is actually worn down from the sweat off of people’s feet. And ummm…yum….you might be bare footed as well. Lick your feet on the plane later. This is all because some asshole from England tried to bomb (unsuccessfully, I might add) a plane with a “bomb” in his shoe. It didn’t work, now we are all subjected to this nasty fucking requirement.

By the way, my favorite part is that they take your cheap drinking water away. Any thoughts, folks, on why they really do that? Guess what? Airport revenue. Airport restaurants & bar revenues are so far deteriorated since 9/11 that they cried hard enough for ways to get revenue up…in the good ol’ days, everyone would go through security (yeah, you still had to go through security, but you could still go meet or say goodbye to loved ones right at the gate.)….yep, people would also buy a bunch of shit at the restaurants while they waited. These businesses kissed a boat load of cash away with the new “security” bullshit…and now, at least they will get to sell you a $5 bottle of crummy water. Do I sound cheap? Well, I’m not, I’m just a bit tired of being lied to on a daily basis by our Federal Government…but don’t get me started down that road…

3.) The plane ride itself

I hate airplane language. They use the biggest words, and describe things in the most nonsensical way you can imagine. Rather than say “hey ya’ll, watch the overheads when you open them up in case some douche bag jammed his oversized bag in there” they say “please exercise caution when opening the overhead bins as items may have shifted during the flight.” What the fuck does that mean? And, whatever happened to calling things what they are? “Stewardess” is now “Flight Attendant” since we have Gay men sometimes as Stewardesses. Do you think they really care? Also, the area where the plane was flown…I’m guessing you played Scrabble you’d call it the “cockpit.” Now we have chics flying planes, so it’s called the “flight deck.” “Hello, this is Captain Kangaroo from the flight deck” — listen numbskull, you are a glorified bus driver — don’t think so highly of yourself. I remember back about 10 years ago half of you assholes were wasted flying us around.

4.) “Regulations”

Regulations say “put up your shade during take off and landing.” Why? Is the asshole flight deck boy going to look out of my window when we crash? I really, really also like the jerk middle aged guys that always are flying on “business.” They have alot of “meetings” to go to you see. They won’t hesitate to vote for the guy “fighting the terror!,” nor putting up your shade for you. After all, why would anyone be tired on a flight? Their fat, lazy wives aren’t worth schlepping, so they simply go to sleep at 10 p.m right after they watch the “tid bit” newscast about the “weather.” If I had $100 for every middle aged asshole that a.) talks too loud or too much, or b.) has to look out the bitchin’ window on a flight, I’d not be writing this rant.

More regulations….”no smoking” — I hate cigarettes, but if you paid $3000 to sit in first class, you think you could smoke, or at least put on a ventilator & smoke. And, why can’t 18 year olds drink on international flights? Apparently, they might drive the plane. “FAA regulations say….” fuck the FAA! The FAA says I have to wear a seat belt when I’m not “moving about the cabin.” What the hell is moving about the cabin even mean? Going to drop a dump, or what?

5.) Stupid Stewardess

Yep, they are real retards. Last time I flew from Minneapolis to Austin, Texas, one made a point to make a scene since I hadn’t “turned off my portable electronic device”…(i.e..a solar powered calculator.). I told her, I’m sorry ma’am but it doesn’t turn off. She says, but it has an ON button. Lady, the bitchin thing is, it’s solar powered. I hate “rules” that really don’t make sense. I mean, would a solar powered calculator mess up the flight computers, or what? And by that token, how in the name of Jesus, Joseph, and Mary does an IPOD have to be turned off? If it can be turned on when we’re in the air, it stands to reason that it is just as likely to fuck things up as when we are taking off. I say this, as a private pilot myself — it’s an impossibility. Obviously, someone that wasn’t a pilot made that dumb assed rule. Ask ANY pilot how an IPOD could interfere with their flight instrumentation, and they’ll laugh at you. Sure, my Cessna 182 is no 777, but come on.

Next up, Stewardess’ that like to “customize” the information they give, to “liven it up” and be “funny.” Actually, I’m just so pissed I’m flying, I wish I could muzzle you. Shut the F up.

6.) People on “vacation” on flights…

These are the dick licks that “clap” when the flight lands in Cancun. Why? Because they are so pumped up to go to Senor Frogs, after all. When you’re 44 years old, Senor Frogs is “the” place to party man, and now the fucking plane didn’t crash, so it’s time to clap.” Screw you.

Yes, we sell vacations, so I should “love” people flying on vacations. Well, I don’t. They are often the most impatient people since they never fly. They don’t understand flight delays (how COULD THIS HAPPEN! MY VACATION IS RUINED!!”) (simply assholes), they don’t understand not to bring fast food on a plane so they can eat the french fries that stink like shit. They also typically complain about the airline food (we that fly regularly are so pumped to get anything…a real reason I love Continental) that we’d like to steal your “food.” They still think it’s cool, like when they were in high school, to bitch about the school lunch. Some of us big boys love food. So, shut the hell up, ok? Also, assholes that are dead asleep, but wake up at the “time for a free soda” call. These cheap jerk offs deserve nothing, and the fact that they are so cheap kills me. Why do airlines give free “drinking matter” out anyway? I mean, are we such a parched nation that on a 45 minute flight we need a plastic cup of flat soda? What gives?

My NUMBER ONE suggestion to airlines is to stop, think, and assimilate. Didja know that several great restaurants could prolly cater good food, and people would pay for it? And, WHOA! you could make money on this? Or, better yet, charge me $1 for a Coke. That’s fine. Don’t be stingy with a 5 oz. glass like you are now, and don’t try to frickin gouge me on a Coke. This isn’t the movies after all, I’ve already paid your asses for this ticket.

Finally, “vacation” people annoy the shit out of me as they think since the “lie my seat all the way on your lap” has a button they can fuck around with, they will. I have my day as a 6′2″ tall boy, I simple shake their seat for an hour straight by shifting around my legs….they sometimes get exasperated by this, which I truly do love.

7.) The Two Drink Rule the major airlines sometimes enforce.

Listen, some of us Irish boys can put away a case of beer, let alone 2. I got cockblocked on a recent continental flight, and was like…you know what? I outta just steal the beer. So, I did just that. Continental can kiss my grown ass. I know, some people can get belligerent, but others want to just catch a buzz, and go to sleep afterwards.

8.) The environmental ass raping

Yep, that’s right. Jet fuel is basically kerosene, and we put a TON of it in the atmosphere everytime we fly. I don’t know what to do about it…but I’m just saying, I hate it. I hate that we have to drink 98 glasses of water a day, that comes in oil bottles (plastic) that we just throw away, but I don’t have a good solution to that, either.

9.) Prices that just don’t make sense.

Stop trying to swindle the taxpayer into subsides since you can’t run a business. Why is it, (as a tour operator) if we book 34 seats on a empty plane one year in advance, I can buy 4 seats cheaper 15 days in advance? It shouldn’t work that way. Why is it that 2 seats is cheaper than 12 seats? It shouldn’t be. Why can I buy it cheaper online than when I call your dumbass? I shouldn’t be able to. Why can I fly from Ohio to South Padre cheaper than Kansas City, which is twice as close? Until they get someone in charge with some common sense, it’s no wonder the corporate welfare must continue.

Rantin’ & Ravin’!!!

Budgeting for our trips - How to Afford Spring Break

This feature is going to offer up some suggestions about how as a “sometimes” broke college student you can budget & pay for one of our awesome spring break trips — we understand it might be on your mind as you browse our site — “hey, these trips looks great, but I mean…I can’t afford it!!”

I’m going to list what we’ll discuss — remember, this list is not exhaustive, and you might add your own creative thoughts to make a trip work for you….one important point to remember is, you only live once — saying you’ll

“stay home” for spring break is really missing out on part of your right as a college student to have a good time.
Once you are out of school, married with kids, and have an office space job, you won’t be able to take a “wild” party trip like this. You have your whole life to save money, be serious, etc. Live a little!

*Do a monthly budget with all your expected “income” and your expected expenses
*Plan on asking for the trip for a Christmas or Birthday Gift
*Book Early & make payments as you go
*Select a trip in a price that makes sense for your budget
*Student Loan money
*Obtain new employment during the semester

Monthly Budgeting
For all of you finance or accounting majors, this will seem like Mr. Simpleton to you…but for our liberal arts majors, this is a very simple way to calculate what you can afford & have for spending money.

The make a budget, grab a piece of paper, a pen, and a calculator. Make a column to the left of your paper of all your expected income from now until March. Include your part time job, your student loan money, your family/parents/grandparents, and anything you might be selling off (like an old car, etc.).

Make a notation about the available credit you have on all your credit cards as well. (don’t include this as income, cuz it’s not!)

Next, in the column to the right of that column, list all of your expenses for this time period, including ANYTHING you pay for (not your parents, etc) as this is not outgoing money in that case:

-Tuition
-Books & supplies
-Insurance (health or car)
-Rent for housing
-Car Payment
-Cell Phone Payment
-Any utilities you have to pay
-Credit card payments you’d like to pay if you have a balance
-Food (groceries, eating at your place)
-Food (eating out money, we all do it)
-Beer / going out money for the weekends, etc
-Personal expenses like haircuts, tanning, manicures, whatever
-Gas for your car if you have one/bus fare if you don’t
-Misc. expenses like software, online porn (just kidding :) hahaha! whatever else

For all of these..make sure you are using an approximate “range” — high end and low end — you never
know EXACTLY what monthly bills will be after all

Now add up each column. This will let you know what is coming in, and what is going out.
Don’t worry….don’t go cry in your room — the number that comes out will probably make
your financial situation seem worse than it is.

You’ll now see if your incoming is more than your outgoing. If your incoming is more, you have some discretionary income left. Either way, your next step is to highlight which expenses are “set in stone” (i.e..rent for your place).
Use like a green highlighter for that. Then, use a pink highlighter to indicate which expenses you have some flexibility in reducing.

Take a separate sheet of paper, and look at all the pinks….indicate by each “pink” item how much you believe you can reduce it (for example, if you spend $50/month on tanning, maybe you won’t tan until your trip is paid off). Add up these amounts. This will give you an estimate of what you will have for extra money WITHOUT resorting to financing / paying for your trip from an outside source.

If you aren’t good at estimating what you are spending, it’s simple. KEEP EVERY RECEIPT FOR 10 STRAIGHT DAYS…we mean 100% of them. At the end of the 10 days, categorize your receipts as bills (simple accounting). Now you can accurately estimate your incoming/outgoing amounts.

This is a good number to know, whether you actually take a trip or not. You might discover that you are spending an awful lot on fast food, the bars, or even might have a bill you don’t need (a car payment on a car you don’t drive, for example).

*Plan on asking for the trip for a Christmas or Birthday Gift
Another great way to book & pay for one of our spring break vacations is to ask for it as a gift, or even a portion of it. If your budgeted number shows that you have $200 you can spend on the trip yourself, but you see an Inertia Spring Break trip to South Padre Island is $450 with the meals, party package, nice condo, etc., you could ask that your parents (brother, uncle, grandma) pay for $100, $200, or the balance of the trip as your Christmas present. I used this a ton when I was in school, as my parents would rather I travel than they just buying me like a computer or a snowboard — traveling is part of a rounded education, after all. (funny sell to your parents when they say that spring break is all about drinking….educate yourself…travel is travel, and what you make of it after all).

This is a great way to get some help on your trip, particularly if you can demonstrate that you have saved up a portion of the money yourself — most family do not mind helping out some, if you are making a good effort on your own, right?

*Book Early & make payments as you go
I hate doing a “salesy” pitch in a blog posting…but Inertia does have a great travel product that you should consider at least looking into…our EZ Autopay trips are mostly under $500, and still represent a fun spring break trip. These trips are also available under our Low Cash Trips section of our website. The jist of the program is this…you pay a low initial downpayment, and then your credit card is automatically drafted each month for the payment until you are paid off for the trip. It’s a great way to “budget” for a trip.

You can also hybrid this offer and have your parents sign up for it on your behalf (ie…their credit card is charged the payments each month, they will probably hardly notice such a small amount) and in this way, your trip is not only cheaply financed, they might be able to finance your christmas or birthday present, right?

All of our trips you can reserve just by making a low initial downpayment of as low as $69 down (with the autopay feature) or $100 without — this money comes off of your trip price. The balance is either auto drafted from your credit card account, OR the balance is due 60 days before the trip takes place. This is one of the real reasons to book with Inertia Tours vs. just “buying a trip” online based on price. Those trips usually you have to pay in full at the time of booking — that can be tough as a student.

*Select a trip in a price that makes sense for your budget
We understand that the all inclusive, “balls out awesome” trip at the Oasis Cancun looks incredible…but you don’t see how a $1300 trip is going to be affordable. Well, look at something else. We do this as consumers all the time — if we need a new car, we might want a Ferrari, but we buy a Chevrolet. It’s still a functional car, and quite useful. Same goes with vacations….Inertia offers super fun trips under $500. Yeah, where!?!?!?!?!!!

Well, you can go to South Padre Island, Texas on a road trip, you can go skiing in Colorado, or you can take a party bus trip to Mazatlan, Mexico. While these trips might not be as posh as a flight inclusive trip to an exotic Caribbean destination, they are still a complete blast! A $400 trip with $50 for gas, and $250 in spending money looks much more do-able than $1300 for just the trip, plus $500 in spending money once you get there.

You aren’t downgrading really, you are just “saving” that “all out” trip potentially. Plus, the less expensive of the trip planned, the more of your friends that can go. We have found what makes the trips is the people you go with, more so than the destination selection overall. Keep this important point in mind.

*Student Loan money
Right, pile up more loan debt to take a vacation? Well, look at it this way — you only live once. All of us make decisions that aren’t fool-proof financially. For example, most of your parents have purchased a new car, when they depreciate 35-65% the second you drive them off the lot. (loss = $10-$30,0000!!!!) vs. you taking $400 out for a vacation to keep your sanity.

If your parents squawk, remind them about their own personal spending habits. Are they drinking coffee from Starbucks at $5/cup and putting it on their Visa? Hummm…that’s not too smart, either. Life is about choices, and once you graduate, you’ll be working full time. If you have $20,000 in student loans, having $20,400 is hardly going to make or break you, right?

Student loan money can come at the most opportune moment to pay for a trip like this. It can at least be used as a consideration to finance our spring break packages.

*Obtain new employment during the semester
For a sense of balance, we follow up the “finance” option with the old school traditional way to get what you want - earn it.

If you aren’t working a part time job in college, how come? “Concentrating on your studies!” Yeah, right you are. A part time job not only will give you real world experience that will help you get your first “real” out of school job, sometimes these lead to full time offers of work after graduation. A side bonus is that you have your own money in your pocket besides your parents.

If you have the mindset of “we have money” (as in you thinking your parents money and shit is “yours”) — think again. I doubt they share this viewpoint with you. As an adult with a soon-to-be college education, you need to be able to stand on your own two feet and earn a living someday on your own. If you are thinking that a would-be interviewer that has worked their way through college is going to hire you when you have not, you are DEFINITELY mistaken! They will think you are lazy, and probably right.

Get a part time job doing SOMETHING. Whether it be as a student worker for the university , washing cars, waiting tables, working at The Gap….you’ll earn money you can spend on things like our spring break trips.

IN CONCLUSION:

There are many ways to “afford” a spring break, and a million different combinations of what we have listed above to finance your wanted vacation.

The key is planning, and having the fortitude to come up with a plan & have the time of your life on an Inertia Tours Spring Break Trip!

August 4th - Guadalupe River Float - New Braunfels, Texas

The entire Inertia Tours Spring Break party crew will be floating the Guadalupe River on August 4th — everyone of course is invited. Please be aware of the fact that the River now has new guidelines which restrict cooler sizes to about big enough to fit 5 beers with Ice…might we suggest bringing a small (plastic) bottle of hard liquor to partake a bit longer than your 5 beers will last.

We have places to crash in and around San Marcos & New Braunfels, so just make for sure no one is drinking & driving!

If interested email us for the 411 on meet up times - tripinfo@inertiatours.com

Inertia Tours is looking to hire the wildest, most wasted people at your Campus

Oh no! We said “wasted!” Yes we did. We want party animals. We want people that set up parties, that are the party, and that ARE THEY entertainment just because they are there.

If you know more than 200 people at your college campus EASY…this position is for you. With our Corporate Sponsors, you’ll be paid a very small bonus cash stipend, go on our winter break ski trip free of charge in Aspen, and go on spring break any motherfucking place you want to go. Plus, when you get down to whatever destination you go to, you can foggitabout paying for any of your party bevies…we’ll take care of that for you.

My Company specializes in affordable trips for about $400 that are quality. Your friends can afford our shit, and this makes it very easy to sell. I stack the trips with superb entertainment, quality DJ’s, and really kick ass condos that your friends will drool over when you check in.

Call or email me personally for details — we aren’t the usual pathetic “top trip provider” or “most accredited” or the “the biggest” or any of that absolute phony crap (mostly we’re not phony)…we just provide what time and time again people tell me — the best time of their lives. If you want to go someplace gay like the Bahamas or Cabo San Lucas or anyplace in lame Florida don’t call me, either, I can’t help you out…besides talking you into NOT going there. Not too tough, actually, so I just changed my mind…call me so I can tell you why those places blow donkey kong.

Read what drinking on Spring Break can cause

Ahhhh hummm!!! As we are retiring (sniff-sniff) the old Inertia Tours website shortly, we have to resurrect some of the funny shit that was on it….as in this post:

What Alcohol on Spring Break can do:

WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may leave you wondering what the hell happened to your bra and panties.

WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may make you think you are
whispering when you are not.

WARNING: The consumption of alcohol is a major factor in dancing like a
retard.

WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may cause you to tell your friends
over and over again that you love them.

WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may cause you to think you can sing.

WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may make you think you can
logically converse with members of the opposite sex without spitting.

WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may create the illusion that you
are tougher, smarter, faster and better looking than most people.

WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may lead you to think people are
laughing WITH you.

WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may cause pregnancy.

WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may be a major factor in getting
your ass kicked.

WARNING: The fact that you are wasted doesn’t mean the cops give two shits your dad is a “a lawyer” or you “are calling one right now” — your ass is still going to jail.

WARNING: the crumsumpten of alcohol may Mack you tink you kan tpye reel gode.

Drunk Dialing while in South Padre on Spring Break

This was a funny post I got off Myspace worthy of reading…it’s a belly roller….

Drunk Dialing

1. Only drunk dial when you are drunk. Everything else is false advertisement.

2. It is okay to call someone 27 times in one night. If you don’t remember it, it didn’t happen.

3. If you are going to drunk dial a family member, say something nice. Ex. “Mom, I’m in McDonald’s and they’re playing our song. I love you.”

4. Dirty talk while drunk dialing is always preferred. Who doesn’t want to hear your best raspy, phone sex voice at 3 in the A.M. asking to bend them over something??

5. Voicemails are always better. This way your friend can let their friends have fun at your expense for days, even weeks to come.

6. Drunk texting is alright… if you are prepared to read what you wrote the next day when you are sober. (oh boy….I’m guilty of this one…DUOFFFFF!!!)

7. It is definitely a good idea to call all of your exes and remind them that you were the best lover they’ve ever had and everything they know, they learned from you. This way you can sleep well at night.

8. You can also call this same ex and let him/her know, that you know that he/she still loves you. Then explain to him/her that “I would still love me too!”

9. If you are a frequent dialer, never get mad if someone dials you. Be happy they thought of you in this special time.

10. It is always a good idea to sing on someone’s answering machine or voicemail. Especially a show tune.

11. Drunk dialing should be fun and light hearted or dirty and sex crazed… never angry.

12. Most likely you will never drunk dial your best friends. They are usually the ones taking your phone away and reminding you that “you have a problem”.

13. If you deleted a number sober, it was probably for a good reason. Do not try to retrieve this number. Nothing good can come from it.

14. Always call someone you know. Finding random numbers in phone books is bad and usually leads to angry dialing.

15. If your cell phone dies, remember everything happens for a reason. Never borrow a friend’s phone to do your dialing.

Cheers!

Inertia Party Boy Chad…OUT!

Are you THE BEST skier or snowboarder at your school’s campus?

Look,

If you are TRULY the BEST skier or snowboarder at your school’s campus, you need to email or call me as soon as possible so that I can set you up as a Campus Manager for our Company for one of our killer ski trips….here’s is why repping our ski trips are better than doing it with anyone else:

1.) Our destinations rock. We offer Breckenridge/Vail, Aspen, & Telluride…all the foremost skiing in all of Colorado
2.) Your benefits as a Rep. We will get you:
* A free ski trip for winter break with all lift tickets, plus our best available condo in your category
* A free REP trip to South Padre Island for spring break any week, plus MTV celebrity access onsite
* A free mini vacation (2 nights/3 day hotel stay) with your very first sale
* An extra walk to lift condo in Breckenridge in February for 2 nights/3 days for just $100/night if
you decide to come back

All of this, with just 14 trips sold.

Lastly, ANY ski Campus Manager that sells 51 trips for Inertia Tours to ANY ski destination we offer, you will receive a free Heli-Ski drop off (value $600+ USD!!!!). NO OTHER COMPANY OFFERS YOU THESE BENEFITS!!!

Sadly, we only offer this Rep / Manager incentive to the very best skier/boarder (one each) per campus. The selection of our Reps is at our sole, objective discretion. You will need to personally email me, Chad, at chad@inertiatours.com as to why I should consider you for this position.
