    Anyone in the Tampa/Clearwater area?

    Or familiar with it? We are heading to Orlando in a few weeks and I thought we would drive over that way to do some sight seeing. I've never seen the Gulf before and would love to see a sunset there. Looking for maybe a cool pier, short boat trip, touristy shops, artsy fartsy things. We don't party so we could care less about bars. No kids either. Any suggestions for a tourist?

      laura give me a call when u come over. watching the sunset from pier60 at clearwater beach is great. the beach itself is great... soft white powder, decent water, etc. little bit of nightlife too... street performers, hippies selling shit, etc.

      lots of us here... pornkings, tripplexcash, others...

        Wow, nice pic! I'll probably fill all of my cards while I'm there. Need to bring my card reader to upload them to the laptop for extra storage. I know I'll fall in love with that place and want to move! Wonder what you have to go through to get your realtors license in Florida when you already have one in another state, hmmm...hehe.

            IT is a great area. That is one of the reasons we moved here!!

              The beaches are real nice in the south of the county, too, like Pass-A-Grille beach on the end of St. Pete beach, and down at Ft. Desoto park is really nice.

                  Seriously, I think you guys should have a Tampa webmaster get together while I'm in town. Then I can meet everyone and sip something tropical while vacationing at the beach. Ahhhhh vacation. 3 more weeks!

                    How many companies are located in Tampa? Seems like there are quite a few.

                      If you go a little further south of Tampa to Sarasota you see great beaches and they have more "culture" type stuff.

                        Thanks! Don't know if we'll venture down that far because we have to go back to Orlando. Booked our hotel for 8 nights.

                          Jungle Gardens is kind fo small. Kind of like an old time zoo. Myakka cool because you can see live gators in the wild and I mean up close! Ringling Museum of Art is cool if you like art. former home of John Ringling of Ringling Bros Circus.

                              Did you keep them? Or do you throw something like that back?
