FYI, two weeks ago on our very cold day off, we went to Tarpon Springs, FL. It seemed like a wonderful day trip. We drove over the Sunshine Skyway Bridge not once, but twice!!! A real accomplishment, but it is a wonderfully wide and new bridge. It does cost a buck each time you ride over it, but it's really something to see. Went North on to Tarpon Springs, which we remembered from the movies, etc. as the sponge capital, blah blah blah.
Other than being a quaint old Greek village, it's pretty run down. The day we went it was cold and very windy and pretty much deserted. Lots of shopping, but nothing spectacular. We had a nice lunch at a Greek restaurant and ate some baklava; visited a Greek bakery and marveled at all the pastries; walked down to the sponge docks but there was no activity; took some pictures; came home. Glad we didn't plan more than a day to go there. BTW, we did not buy any sponges there (too pricey!).
In the spirit of adventure, keep going til you find something wonderful!
