Walking the neighborhood and exploring the area was a great joy. So much to do, so little time (1 week). Note to future residents, when Henry recommends - DO IT! Brunch at the Thai Temple was memorable. Caladesi Island State Park was almost a place away from time (except for the Ferry). Henry thank you for your hospitality.
What a lovely house and area! I had a great meal at the Front Porch, thanks for the suggestion! Ybor City, the acquarium and the bus system were all fantastic. Tampa is a great city and its too bad I had to spend most of the week at a business conference.
Two things that would make the place even better would be a microwave and a barbeque grill. To reheat leftover, hawaii adventure tours depature australia coffee etc. a microwave would go a long way. Grilling outside on the nice deck in the beautiful Florida sunshine would be an added benefit. I do know that Henry is working on a brick barbeque hawaii adventure tours depature australia grill currently, so that will be there in the near future.
Having traveled quite a bit with our son since his birth, we ve had 2 years of experiences to compare with our latest, and not a single one compares to that which we had at Henry s beautiful home in Seminole Heights.

Henry is the perfect reference for visiting Tampa and gave us all of the up-to-date recommendations in the area and beyond. Thanks so much again for everything, Henry, and we ll see you next time we are in town!
