We had a really great time. We rented a convertible and drove all around in Tampa, over to everywhere between Tarpons Springs and Fort DeSoto, and took a day trip up north a bit to Panasoffkee to do the gator fan boat tour. We did take a half day fishing trip on the Gulf, but we got there during a rare cold spell, which was still nice to us coming from PA, but we caught 5 tiny fish between the 2 of us.

I'm guessing urban camping is technically illegal in a lot of places now as an anti-homeless measure. As sad as it is, learning safe urban camping skills might not be a bad thing to teach younger people as wealth inequality continues to increase and the job market gets weirder and home values keep reaching unattainable heights... 😐

I'm with you on doing something totally out there. I just took a private sailing lesson for the first time last week and that was mindblowing. Once I got shown the basics, I was shocked how instinctive and natural it felt. I thought it would be somewhat physically demanding and tricky to keep the wind, but it was so peaceful and there was so much feedback from the boat it was like it was telling me what I had to do. One of my favorite recent experiences.
