Spring Has Sprung!
Well it's official -- today is the first day of Spring. If you're on the East Coast, in NYC, Boston or Philadelphia, the new season will arrive around 8 pm (just as you're tuning into American Idol). West Coasters, like our colleagues in San Francisco, will experience the new season even earlier.
So what does this all mean? The New York Times had a nice write-up today about the vernal equinox, explaining why there are variations in the "official" arrival of spring each year. Wikipedia also does a good job describing astronomic basis and the cultural importance of of the day.
More practically, the arrival of spring means that summer -- and your vacation -- is just around the corner. So now is a good time to do some trip research and to start to make hotel, plane and car rental reservations.
