Most of the U.S. will be cold in March except for the southern-most
states and California.

You're on a budget so you'll probably want to stay in the eastern U.S.
since it's closer. The Orlando (Florida) area is popular since it's
near several great theme parks (including Disney World) and within
driving distance of NASA, beaches, and other tourist attractions. In
March the average daily high in Orlando is 79 F (28 C), though it gets
chilly at night.

However, I doubt if the water will be warm enough for swimming in March
unless it's at a heated pool. Also, prices can be high in that area,
but with careful planning you can find reasonable accomidations. There
is a Disney World newsgroup where you could get suggestions on
affordable motels in that area.

Another possibility would be to spend a few days (not the whole 2
weeks) of your trip in New Orleans (average high of 72F in March). It's
a longer flight, but the hotels will probably be offering good deals in
an effort to attract tourists back to the city. Right now the city is
recovering from the recent floods, but the French Quarter is open again
and by March most of the popular tourist areas will probably be going
strong. Also, many of the nearby tourist attractions such as the old
plantations weren't damaged and are open as usual.

Affordable is a relative term. What's your price range? What's
affordable to one person, might be well beyond the means of the next
person.

Yes, Florida appears to be your best choice budget-wise from the U.K.
but note: a March vacation in Florida means college spring break, thus
some beach areas will be overrun with partying students ... Daytona,
Clearwater, Fort Myers to a lesser extent, and others. You can easily
find places without that, so don't let it stop you, but it it is
something to be aware of.

You might check Caribbean prices as well.

You might take a look at Fort Lauderdale. It's not as trendy as Miami
but still has much to offer. You can check out activities, nightlife,
dining and lodging at http://sunny.org it's the official website for
Fort Lauderdale. 8-)

Not crowded, very pretty, and if you wear lots of clothes......... warm.

San Antonio, Texas, is fairly warm in March, and there is plenty to do and
see.
