Are you suffering from what’s called the winter blues? According to an article by the Crisis and Trauma Resource Institute, getting more sun is critical to beating it. So, taking a spring trip to a sunny location makes sense. Need to brainstorm location ideas? Check out Travel + Leisure’s list of the best tropical vacation destinations.
When to start planning your spring vacation?
Milk + Honey states that it’s never a good idea to plan a trip last minute. Planning ahead is a better plan. After all, you’ll need to book travel, lodging and other accommodations, and if you have more time available, you stand a better chance of getting better deals financially speaking – that’s just simple supply versus demand economics.
What’s the cost?
Regardless of the time you have available to plan your trip, expect to spend a considerable amount of money to travel in 2025. According to TravelAge West, the average vacation budget is now at $5,051 which represents an increase from previous years. Need help budgeting for a trip? Check out this five-step process.
Can you lose your vacation budget?
In short, yes. Many scenarios could potentially happen that would mean you’d lose nonrefundable dollars earmarked for your trip. For example, what if:
- You fall ill just before your trip and can’t go
- A hurricane or other natural disaster makes your travel destination off limits
- Political instability makes traveling to your destination ill advised
- You get injured or sick while on vacation and need to cut it short or get medical care
Can you protect your vacation budget?
Don’t trade the winter blues for anxiety about how you could lose your vacation fund. You can protect it by obtaining travel insurance. “There are multiple ways to get travel insurance.” says Dan Drennen, Director of Sales and Marketing at Travel Insurance Center®. “You could go directly to insurance carriers that offer travel insurance. The only problem with that is, you’ll only be offered that carrier’s solution, and who knows if it’s the most suitable solution for you.” Dan goes on to say “a better option would be to go through a travel insurance aggregator where you can compare, shop for and buy travel insurance with the help of a licensed advocate.”

They’re not an insurance carrier, but an aggregator, offering a myriad of travel insurance solutions from top providers. They don’t offer one-size-fits all solutions.
