time constraints due to work schedules necessitates travel 4/13-27/2011 is this going to be crazy in reference to crowds and costs
Stephanie, travel at that time of year should be fairly quiet with reference to crowds, although I haven't checked to see which dates Easter falls on in 2011. I've found that costs are much the same regardless of time of year (although rates for Hotel rooms may be a bit "softer" in the less-busy seasons). The weather will be cooler (especially at night) and may be a bit wet, so pack accordingly. Cheers!
Easter is April 24...it could be busy but you have the advantage of making your hotel reservations, etc. well in advance.
