question about Florida

[riff]

Gordo- if you get the chance to shy away from the cities, take an outing to Crystal River to see the manatees, or take a tube ride down the Itchitucknee River.

St. Augustine is a haven for tourists, but it is beautiful all the same.

where are the cubs from ? I suppose I just want to savour the atmosphere - have a few beers and at least see what is is all about -

so I dont suppose the teams invloved will really mater !

The Cubs are from Chicago and are actually playing rather horribly this year. Big Surprise! They haven't even been to the World Series since the 40's.

The better the team the Devil Rays are playing the better the atmosphere will be. I don't think the Devil Rays are doing so well and you don't want to sit in an empty park.

Gord,

The Rowdies team you are referring to is a soccer team or what you refer to as football. Btw, I'm a huge Featherstone Rovers fan!

You won't have any problems getting tickets to a Devil Rays game. Their attendance has been poor hence the bankruptcy rumors. You are in luck though if the Yankess will be playing the same time you are here. You will see that the stands will be filled with more Yankee fans than Devil Rays fans. George Steinbrenner, the owner has a huge impact in Tampa due to the fact he owns half the city and the Yankess hold their spring training camp in Tampa. J

Just a quick note, although the Devil Rays belong to Tampa Bay, their stadium is in St. Petersburg. So, don't get confused when you see the 'Welcome to St. Petersburg' sign.

Enjoy your visit!

Thanks for that Chanaud- I didnt think I had made up the Rowdies - Featherstone Rovers !! - arent they a Rugby League team from oop North .

I will be staying in Busch Gardens for a couple of nights - is it near to St Petersburg. I should have a car so no problem .about driving

I will make a note off Itchycooo river and st augustine - I wuold like to get out and see some country. I have friends who live in Sunibel Isl - so will stay with them too

I live pretty close to one of the spots that most go when they want to visit the Itchetucknee, but I myself havent been in years. Many years. Sad isnt it?
