Have basically no criteria, save one: a place where it's not forecast to rain for the next 10 days, as it is here in the swampy southeast. Winters suck here, cold and wet, but not snowy. Spring comes quickly, which is nice, but yeah, I would go anywhere warm and dry right now, preferably with a plenitude of mountain biking. Southern California, Arizona, Utah. Calgon, take me away!
We like the desert a lot. Unfortunately, my wife's school managed not to schedule their spring break in sync with Duke and UNC this year (they have done so reliably for as long as we can remember, thanks a lot!) meaning no spring break for our family... so it will have to wait til it's a 100 degrees this summer for us to go anywhere. (I would rather do the southwest at 100 degrees than the southeast at 90F and 100% humidity, though).
"Yeah, I got a rash, man, but you know me: I can't complain."
