Not to get too parental, but you need some fresh air, stat. You need to stretch your wings and break the chains of conformity, you know? We’re not talking a walk around the block here. Or even a jog. We’re talking Survivor Series: You. It’s time to hitch a ride on one of those angry birds for someplace far, far away. Time to double up on the caffeine, break even your own rules, and redefine the meaning of your life. Don’t forget to take a sweater. And brush your hair.

Your first option for this fantasy vacation involves Italians. The kind who roll their Rs, drink their espressos like tequila shots, and wink at you even when they’re with someone else.  Avanti’s Rainforest, Volcano & Beach vacation in Costa Rica. It’s the surfer lifestyle and a whole lot more. Hot springs, awesome wildlife, rafting, zip-lining … the whole tropical paradise enchilada, served hot.

Speaking of the tropics, check out MLT Vacations’ JW Marriott Ihilani Resort & Spa at Ko’olina in Hawaii. They’ve got shark feeding excursions and you don’t even have to be able to pronounce the name to go there. MLT also has a choice trip to the Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa with everything from hula dancing to horseback riding. Flexible payment options make both MLT trips totally do-able.

Seeing the Western Mediterranean with Norwegian Cruise Line is easy on your wallet too. Eat pizza in Naples, gawk at Goth architecture and play, day and night, aboard the action-packed Norwegian Epic, where there’s a party everywhere you look. Then there’s Mexico. Whether or not you went there on Spring Break is no business of ours. But if you’re in a relationship, you might be into GOGO Vacations’ Iberostar Grand Hotel Paraiso – Riviera Maya. It’s an all-inclusive resort with in-suite Jacuzzis, beach butlers, couples massages, and breakfast, lunch, and dinner — gratis. Go ahead, book ‘em. You will so not regret it.
