I'm not sure yet because with all the Spring Breakers I may have to stay in Tampa. I lived there back in 1987 too.

The secretary's setting this up so I'll let you know.

Lived in Clearwater........on Picardy Circle way back in the day about a mile from the beach. I remember Sand Key, nice place. Unfortunately I never cared much for Fla., to many Yankees, English is a second language and I like 4 seasons.

No problems there . . . it's Boise this week, Spring Break the next, Miami (OK) the week after the break and then I get to go back to Albuquerque for the first time since we moved to finish out the month.

We used to go there all the time. The water was gin clear and the beach was clean, unlike Clearwater beach.

Clearwater does seem to have more than its fair share of seaweed, but you cannot beat how soft the sand is.

Just found out we'll be staying in Tampa because all the hotels are booked in Clearwater because of Spring break. Our supplier's office is in Clearwater though and St. Pete's is about 20 miles or so south of there.

Welcome back dude . . .

Thanks, it was pretty much an all work no play trip. We did make it over to Leroy Selmons restaruant last night, pretty good food. Dean Blevins was on my Houston flight down and I avioded him but the neat part coming back Josh Huepel was on the return flight and he's a nice friendly fellow.
