I love traveling, but to be honest spring is the best time to stay right here in Marin. The flowers are in bloom, everything is green (or more green than usual, since it is always green here). I am not a fan of the cold weather, but the cold rainy days that still sporadically occur among the nice sunny days, create the abundance of flowers, and plants. and all the animals are out (its mating season) playing, finding food, and, you start to see baby squirrels, ducks, and deer. I love it. It is the best time to go on hikes because it is not to hot. Yet, is is warm enough to lounge around the pool absorbing the sun. It is still to cold to go to the beach in my opinion, and my pool is not heated so I wouldn't dare get in it this time of year, but knowing the summer is just around the corner brightens my spirits.
If I were to go on a vacation, I would travel to the Caribbean before the hurricane season hits. Or, I would visit Jordan. Petra, one of the new 7 wonders of the world, is a place I have been dieing to visit, and March is the best time of year to do it. In the summer, the desert is way too hot. and in the winter, when it does actually rain, that area can flood. You can fly into Israel and take a day or overnight trip to Petra, or you can just fly into Jordan and stay there. There are many places that are amazing this time of year, and the prices for traveling are not as expensive as they could be in high season (summer for some places, winter for others).
