Hugh Jackman brought his wife Deborra-Lee Furness, and their kids, Oscar and Ava, to Paris for spring break this week where they've hit some of the city's best museums and restaurants just like any other tourists.

Yesterday, the actor was spotted chasing after Ava outside the Mus�e Rodin, which was opened in 1919 in the H�tel Biron and displays the works of sculptor Auguste Rodin. The museum is actually a great place to bring kids because they can play in the surrounding gardens, not to mention they get in for free! The museum is open between 10 a.m. and 5:45 p.m. daily. Adult Admission ranges from 1€ to 12€. For more information visit Musee-Rodin. fr.

Time’s running out, but here’s a few places and few destinations that will get you what you need this season:

· Sun Splash Tours
Sun Splash Tours—sounds like a Spring Break winner, right?—is offering up all kinds of package deals to sun, sand, and alcohol over the next few weeks, but one of their Cancun deals is what got our attention.

As Congress mulls over lifting the 47-year-old travel ban against Cuba, the Caribbean country is already planning for the influx of U.S. tourists and for the possibility of being the hot new spring break destination for 2011.

Cuba isn't waiting for the ban to be officially lifted before readying itself for the impending tourism boom. At least nine hotels are slated to be built this year, and the country's looking to add about 200,000 rooms. Cuba's also searching for investors to create 10 golf courses and luxury hotels aimed at American tourists. But what about a Copa Cabana club?

Everybody's done it—been channel surfing with you TV, and you flip by MTV and quickly spot their huge beach party, with gyrating bikini-ed girls and a hip host, and you're stuck in a trance watching while Jimmy Fallon shows up to introduce Nickelback to the stage.

So where will the action go down this spring break? MTV has teamed up with website StudentCity.com to turn Acapulco, Mexico into their place to be, and they want you—if you're a nubile young person of college-ish age—to join them! But think fast—MTV's Acapulco Spring Break begins this week!

Jetblue Will Also Fly Direct From SFO To Fort Lauderdale

JetSetCD — 2009-08-11T16:12:09-05:00

Talk about stealing someone's thunder! This morning, Virgin America announced their plans for twice-daily roundtrips from San Francisco and Los Angeles to Fort Lauderdale, beginning in September. By this afternoon, JetBlue had countered with their own suspiciously similar news; they'll be flying one daily roundtrip from SFO to FLL also beginning in November.

We can just imagine Jetblue reading the VA news and exclaiming "oh no you didnt!" Jetblue's flights will begin one day ahead of Virgin's, on the 17th of November versus VA's 18th. Tickets are not yet available for Jetblue's FLL flights. Despite Jetblue's jumping on their route and even a day earlier, Virgin America will have more flights, the whole LAX route as well, and not to mention their precious, precious in-flight WiFi.

Perhaps they'll even race each other in the air?
