Recession and spring break are two things that don't go well together.  When times are tough, vacations are fewer and farther between.  It doesn't mean you can't have fun while you're off from school; it just means you might be closer to home.

A lot of you have talked to us about how the economy has affected you at school.  Now, we'd like to know if and how the recession is affecting your plans for spring break.

(By definition, a "staycation" is when you're off school or work but don't travel.  A "paycation" is when you spend your spring break working.)
