What are some good vacation ideas in March, in the US?

Have you considered Nashville, Tenn.? It’s a fun, exciting city with plenty of entertainment options, even if you, like me, hate country music. March is also a great time to visit the beaches here in the sunny Northwest Florida panhandle area. You can avoid the spring breakers in Destin and Panama City by visiting great places such as Pensacola, Apalachicola and St. George Island (where vacation rentals are still cheap before they leap to staggering summer rates). Our region’s sugary white beaches and emerald waters are famous the world over. New Orleans is also a great vacation destination, and now that Mardi Gras (and the Super Bowl!) are over, it is simmering down again. In addition to the French Quarter, the city boasts a vibrant arts scene, including one of the southeast’s most active and lively live theatre communities. Stage productions were up and running even before the city got garbage collection going again after Hurricane Katrina. There are so many great places to see in the U.S., it’s hard to list even just a fraction!
