Any thoughts that area residents just might escape Spring Break 2012 unscathed were easily quashed by Thursday as traffic lined up, Island-bound, deep into Port Isabel on Hwy. 100.
Island officials are expecting record numbers of Spring Breakers this season with this weekend being the busiest.
As of Monday, hotel/motel occupancy was at 85 percent and was expected to be closer to 100 percent by tomorrow (Friday, March 16). Coca-Cola Beach was expected to receive upwards of 15,000 visitors per day but as of Thursday, organizers were saying the numbers could easily exceed 22,000.
