I traveled to Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and Orlando but never to St. Pete Beach, Florida. Welcome to the Sunshine State. In this post, I will guide you through things to do around Grand Island TradeWinds, Treasure Island, and Downtown Tampa. I am in town for three nights to attend an education conference.
Have you attended the Auto Zone Liberty Bowl? I try to cross off a college bowl game from my short bucket list each year. I researched the Liberty and Alamo Bowl, but money was the determining factor in my decision to fly to Memphis, Tennessee, instead of San Antonio, Texas.
Can you visit Nebraska and Iowa in one day? Have you heard of the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge? Until I googled things to do in Omaha, I was unaware. I booked my flight, searched for hotel accommodations, and checked the official Visit Omaha website. I was excited to go Bobbing.
Have you traveled to Buffalo, New York? Of course, I received a call from Parris. She wanted to take a trip in February to Niagara Falls. I shared ideas for hotel accommodations, and Parris selected the Hilton Niagara Falls. I would meet her at Midway; she had a connecting flight.
One of the ten best river walks in the U.S. is in San Antonio. I have never traveled to San Antonio, and Parris did not want to celebrate her birthday in St. Louis. Of course, there is a river walk in Chicago. Is there a River Walk in your city?
It is time to hit the road with the Chicago Bears. Welcome to football season. I know some people would never attend a preseason game. So why did we travel to Nashville to see the Chicago Bears? We are fans, and we always support our team. Bear Down, Chicago Bears!
If you like chocolate and festivals, then the Long Grove Chocolate Festival is for you. Of course, the festival looked differently in 2021. You had to register, purchase tickets for general admission or a weekend pass, and snag your workshop tickets in advance online. Yes, we opted for the weekend pass.
I visited Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia in three days. My family and friends were surprised I traveled to D.C. after witnessing the attack on Capitol Hill. Although Mayor Muriel Bowser strongly encouraged visitors to stay home, I wanted to be in my Chucks and Pearls for Inauguration Day 2021.
Have you thought about attending road games with the Chicago Bears? I look forward to the release of the Bears schedule to put a preseason, home, or away game on my calendar. Although it would be great to score tickets to a home game, I can also hit the road.
LSKTravelz! I can travel solo. I travel with Kim or Lynn, and we take trips together. Of course, I travel with friends. My international flights include Cabo, Cancun, Jamaica, and Spain. Kim has traveled to Belize. Lynn traveled to Thailand and crossed the pond to see the Chicago Bears play.
