From Texas to Florida

After my brief stay in Texas in Dallas and Fort Worth, I got on a flight this morning bound for Tampa in Florida.

Once I arrived I made my way to Clearwater Beach which is about 40 minutes outside of Tampa. I had booked a very nice hotel right on the beach, and I was upgraded to a room with a beautiful ocean view.

It is very hot here (over 30 degrees Celsius) but I can't really complain since it's been less than two weeks that this exact area was hit by the worst hurricane in over 125 years. Luckily everything is fine here now, and it was a beautiful day.

Over the afternoon I had booked a one hour Dolphin cruise where we sailed around, trying to spot dolphins. We saw a few of them eventually and they were super cute and playful. It was also fun to see the big mansions by the water, including a house that is apparently owned by Tom Cruise. Indeed, Scientology owns a lot of property in this area.

I finished the evening watching the gorgeous sunset over the beach, and a nice dinner with an ocean view. Not bad!Read more
