Spring Ache

Had enough of rain, snow, and cold? Head south, where the weather's balmy and the beach beckons.

Contributors Lyn & Arthur Dobrin report from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where they checked out three of the nicest hotels on the beach:

• The Atlantic - apply your lotion by the ocean
• Ritz-Carlton, Fort Lauderdale - an AAA 5-Diamond hotel
• W Hotel Fort Lauderdale - cool and contemporary

Bacchanalian spring breakers, who used to make a beeline for the Fort Lauderdale beach, now annoy vacationers elsewhere. Make sure they don't inflict themselves on your holiday. See and heed Where to Avoid Spring Break.
