Comfort Inn & Suites Saint Petersburg

... of beer and wine could calm us down :-)<br><br>So, Palm Harbor is the beautiful suburb in (or just outside?) Tampa where some of my family have settled. The life that Americans seem to live is a good one (speaking from a Floridian point of view of course cos thats all we have seen of the states so far). People are friendly, happy, relaxed and helpful and most want to know where in the South of Africa we are from as they know some one in the North of Africa (!) HAHA Shame that ...

... to customs. After successfully going through customs, we passed our baggage on to the connecting flight. As we rounded the corner from that, Conrad got ******. This was the time when he realized that his bottle of anise was still in his backpack! This was not going to make it through security!! It didn't dawn on him (or me, b/c I had forgotten that he had bought it) to put it into the checked luggage after customs but before the connecting ...

We both woke up at 0730 am. Restless all night; nervous energy. We had breakfast at the Gold Lion. Apparently, Conrad had eaten there previously for lunch. Hopefully lunch was better b/c the breakfast was less than memorable. But, it was food. Running last minute errands picking up a few things at Wal-Mart ...

After a long day of work for both of us, we finally hit the road at 0630 pm. The dogs were less than happy with us, as evidenced by the pictures. They knew once all of the luggage was in the living room that something was up. Chloe was actually trembling! But, Marv will take good care of them, as well as good care of my ...

... your alarm goes off. It&#8217;s comparable to the feeling I once got when I was eating a gooey frisbee -sized chocolate chip cookie that Chef Bob made at AOII and one of the busboys told me that they really did consist of artificial sweetener and zero calories. Obviously, once common sense took its usual sweet time kicking in, that phenomenal feeling went away. Anyway, they&#8217;ve got TVs. <br><br>As if I wasn&#8217;t giddy enough when I walked on ...

... set. I will add photos to this entry. On the way home, we asked out ONSTAR advisor to find us a place to get an ice cream cone, but none were close by - bummer! I ...

... Yacht Club's Marina. Walking unto its wooden deck overlooking hundreds of water vessels from smallish 21 foot sailboats to 50 foot plus yachts and the occasional canoe and kayak, we knew that this might just become a habit, and it has, since not only is the view attractive but we were lucky enough to be seated in Peter's section, one of the better St. Pete servers. Service in largely tourist areas can be lacsadaisical at best so we were pleasantly surprised with ...

Seeing as this was my first cruise, this whole experience was new to me. This trip was taken with my family (Father, Step-Mother, Brother and Step-Brother) I had been to Florida on many occasions, but never to a major port city. When you arrive in Tampa, you can immediately tell you are in a coastal Florida town. The bright colors, the amusement parks and the smell of the ocean blowing ...

... St. Petersburg from above. We saw dolphins in the water that was really close to the pier. It was a nice view of the city. Then we saw the aquarium in the Pier. They had the deadly fish from the Naked Gun movie that Leslie Neilson killed with a pen. They were cool looking. Then we had to get ice cream before going back to the house. I called Vicki and talked to her for a bit. Then me, Brett, and Keith played home run derby. I think Keith won. I eventually got a homerun in the last ...
