Travel Tips

tampa is a very old city as far as florida goes, but i think its got really lovely parts. Youll like treasure island beach across st. pete. Also there is a nice shopping village in downtown tampa. with outdoor restaurants etc. the bay is pretty. not white trashy! i mean youll probably find a trailer park or two, but there are lots of new parts of town, becoming quaint and pretty.

St Pete , Clearwater nice near beaches, Tampa is very heavily crime ridden near citiy area and conegested. Warren Sapp had the right idea getting out of Tampa.
Not real found of Tampa, one wrong turn and I was in a bad bad area of town, I go to the gulf and stay there, clearwater beach is awesome, I enjoy the nice hotels with lots of things to do so we stay at shepards beach resort when ever we go there
