"I'm not spoiling my children; I'm making deposits of joy," that's what I recited to myself silently as I clicked on four tickets for Taylor Swift's one-night-only Eras Tour appearance in Cardiff, Wales.

It’s never too early to plan a vacation, and flight deals to popular spring break destinations are on the horizon. United Airlines recently published several discounted fares between February and April 2025, which can help travelers save extra money and get a jumpstart on planning a spring break vacation.  For travelers from the New York City and tri-state area, the airline is offering a variety of deals on flights from their Newark (EWR) hub to Orlando, FL (MCO) for as little as $137 round-trip throughout February, March, and April 2025. The flights are a significant savings as other round-trip prices for the same month reach as high as $625 round-trip.  From United's hub at Chicago O'Hare, travelers can find spring break deals to Miami, FL (MIA) for as low as $323 round-trip in March and April 2025, which is also a considerable savings from some of the most expensive round-trip flights that month which top at $670. Orlando, which is the home to many popular theme parks including Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando Resort, and SeaWorld, is often ranked as a top spring break travel destination.

I'm zooming across Gull Lake in a Malibu Wakesetter 22 LSV powerboat, which I've been told has enough torque to rocket me to the moon. The water is 77 degrees, warmed by a sun that just won't quit. Captain Amanda Nash and instructor Matt Soundy barely look old enough to drink, yet both are skilled wake surfers, excited to show me their TikTok moves. They're living the wet, hot American dream here in central Minnesota: zigzagging across six-foot swells, sucking down root beer floats, and partying every night after work. They're fun gossips too, pointing out the rumored lake homes of Tom Cruise and some med-tech bajillionaire who allegedly imported his own beach sand because the lake sand wasn't “white enough.” I enjoy the chitchat, but I'm here to launch my own wakeboarding career—one of several ways I'm trying to embrace the “lake life” I've heard so much about since moving to Minnesota six years ago. The state is the “Land of 10,000 Lakes,” as its license plates proudly attest, but as my New Yorker husband, Andrew, and I learned, that motto rounds the number down: There are actually 11,842, if you want to get persnickety about it.
