Tomorrow night is the big night. Acapulco is buzzing about DJ Tiesto who is scheduled to arrive tomorrow afternoon for what is being called his most anticipated show ever. Palladium is a regular stop for Tiesto but this is the first show during Spring Break in Acapulco. Tickets for the show are going for $100 (that is dollars, not pesos) but all STS travelers that have purchased the VIP Package will experience the rush at no extra charge.  Check back to www.ststravel.com for all of the details and pictures later this week.

Still reporting live from Acapulco…

It may be the last week of Spring Break, but that doesn’t stop our students from partying like there is no tomorrow, especially because it is their only spring break!!  Everyone reported over to the Jungle as soon as those gates opened. The Easter weekend allowed more of the locals to come party with us too. That got the Jungle really going crazy.  Everyone is really excited about this concert here at Tamboo tomorrow night. It features Vybz Cartell, and hopefully we’ll see Troblesum up on the stage too!

The weather at home delayed the parties on Sunday but it couldn’t stop it! Flights from all over the US were delayed while we waited here anxious for them to get here for the week to start. It’s a good thing that the open bar party at the Jungle is 8 hours and goes until 6 in the morning. Everyone got crazy upstairs drinking Red Stripe or their mixed drink of choice. We were all happy to see the new arrivals come in. There was drinking, contests, shoutouts to the schools, and just absolute craziness. The party didn’t stop at 2AM when the upstairs closed though. The Jungle is the place where you have the party and the after party at the same bar! Everyone just moves downstairs to go get on the dancefloor and pick out their partner for the night… it’s always great to see who ends up with who!

Saturday night we had our STS Party at our Headquarters. Tamboo!!! Students who had teh VIP Package already got in free and others could pay $25 and get all the drinks they wanted from 10P-3A. DJ Taz ran the mic…. he’s always a favorite with the ladies The parties at Tamboo are so great because people can dance in the sand or on stage if they like, or they can hang out on the deck, play beer pong, card games, or just hang out.

Thursday in Negril….The morning started off with 2 busloads of students headed up to Y.S’s falls at 9AM. I guess they must have heard what an amazing trip it was from the week before because everyone wanted to go on it. Those who could manage the 9 am wake up call went and separated for the day to see the wonder of the interior.

 Those who stayed behind enjoyed a power hour by the beach, and some even went Jet Skiing. Later in the evening, everyone headed over to the Coral Seas Beach Bonfire for some flip cup, beer pong, and other contests. I don’t know how some of these kids hit it so hard all week and were still bonging beers last night!

This week in Acapulco was one for the record books. The STS VIP parties have been dominating Acapulco every night. The New Year’s Eve Party at Palladium on Sunday was a crowd favorite with over 3000 Spring Breakers in attendance. Mandara also had 2 huge parties, the Red Carpet Party on Monday and the BLACKOUT on Wednesday where the Game’s official DJ, Kris Stylez kept the party going until 6am. Mardi Gras at Disco Beach was pure madness where the winner, a Penn State student that shall remain nameless, collected so many beads she couldn’t even turn her head! Tonight is the Farewell Party at Palladium where the Devil will be treating Spring Breakers to one last unforgettable performance of the week. Tomorrow the week will start when El Alebrije open’s its doors to over 5000 for the Official Welcome Party.

Last night, hotel lobbies were full of Spring Breakers heading to Acapulco’s first and best “White Party” at IBIZA Lounge. Approximately 15,000 students came through the Acapulco airport this weekend and they came to party. The whole city of Acapulco is buzzing. The Welcome Party on Friday at El Alebrije was their biggest party yet this year. The week is only getting better because tonight, STS is hosting a Special Event at Classico followed by the much anticipated New Year’s Eve Party at Palladium.

Tuesday was a crazy day in Negril, everyone still feeling a little rough from JamFest the night before came out a little later in the day, and then started the chaos all over again. One kid was even running around Tamboo trying to escape the security guard and get in the ocean naked! That was after most of the people had left for the Booze Cruise out to Ricks Cafe where everyone did some cliff jumping. It was a packed house, and that just added to the fun. I guess you could say it was just a pre-party to the nights festivities, which on this particular night was Risky Business. What can I say cage dances, and a toga competition. What can I say… what happens on Spring Break stays in Negril…:)

Every weekend here, and in pretty much ever Spring Break destination there is a massive turnover of students. We pack up the ones who have been here for the last week and say our goodbyes as we welcome a new group. …Lets just say this weeks group promises to be a fun one

 The waves are coming up here higher than I have seen before  but that doesn’t keep anyone from heading out to the beach. Spring Breakers can be seen by the dozen out in the ocean trying to work the waves to their advantage and get in some body surfing!

The party at Jamaica Tamboo was a great time on Saturday night as well. For a day when we had so many flight delays and the students came in so tired from it, they were troopers and came out for the night. It looked like many felt it was well worth it, dancing and drinking all night on the beach, and checking out the fire dancer show put out there by Jamaica Tamboo.

 Tonight was the 8 hour Open-bar party at the Jungle. Wicked made an appearance again to the delight of the Spring Breakers. They ran all of the contests, like the booty shaking contest. Lets just say that contest got a little wild. Someone in the crowd gained a pair of panties while one person on stage lost them, and another girl just decided that her dress was getting in the way of her winning…so she took it off…..Welcome to Negril Spring Break 2008!!!

Thursday night’s Coral Seas Beach Bonfire at Coral Seas was a hit all of the STS Spring Breakers with contest being the theme of the night. Noone seems to get tired of chugging beer, playing flip cup, beer pong, and F#@&%$ the dealer.  The great thing about parties in Jamaica is that you always have your toes in the sand and a drink (usually a strong one) in your hand.

 People began rolling in on the beach nice and early, and worked their way up to the bar for Hangover Helper from 10AM-11AM.  The rum and the Red Stripe are always flowing here at Jamaica Tamboo. This STS headquarters has become the favorite of all the Spring Breakers for Negril 2008!

The foam party at Margaritaville is in the spotlight tonight. More contest, yardstick drinks, filled with you choice from our open bar. People will pour in from down the street and up the beach to fill the walls of Margarittaville and this party not to be missed. Another great thing about Jamaica  is that you can pretty much were you bikini or boardshorts anywhere you go….especially when it’s a foam party.
