Tampa and St Petersburg - Floridian Adventures Begin!

Airport Woes
My blood pressure went up just reading about the line at the airport. Like you, I always arrive well before I need to at the airport, and for just that reason. Fortunately , Dave and Merry Jo do as well, which is a reason we travel so well together. I am so glad you are warm, enjoying our fast food and hate that you had to Tank Man a bus. Can't wait to read the next installment.

Crazy lines and Bonehead bus drivers
Seasoned travels often arrive early.... sorry to hear about the long lines in London. Welcome to Sunny Florida. We Floridians think this is mild weather but yes someone from London would feel the heat and humidity. We rarely hit 40 but it can happen for short periods of time. The problem for most is the high humidity on those days. FYI in the hot summer months we routinely get a rain shower at 3pm which cools things off a bit. Twenty years ago we lived in Tampa but I din't know about the Holocaust museum. I'll check it out. Next time you come to Florida I will ensure you get to see a manatee. January is a good time to find them and I'll get you to a baseball game! OMG my heart was pounding when you talked about stopping the bus. I'm sorry you encountered an ugly American bus driver. Most of them are so friendly. I can't believe he was going to pass you by. I imagine we have most fast food and junk food than any country on earth. Merry Jo

Sea Turtles
In Florida we take protection of our turtles and manatees very seriously.

My choice among the pictures
I pick this as my favourite picture. /Ake

Tampa
I never visited Tampa but looks a nice place to visit. I can't believe roosters roam the streets 😁
