Arrived Tampa and Alapattah Nini Ligiton Is On!

The day went quickly and smoothly.  We had 6:35 a.m. flight, and two boxed bikes to check, so we were up and at it by 4:00 a.m.  Alaska Air and TSA personnel were very helpful and efficient getting us through, the flight was comfortable and calm, and best of all, the bikes arrived unharmed!  Rob had done an excellent job packing them, and he had no difficulty reassembling them.  Hotel staff were also very helpful.  Diane had asked if they had a bicycle floor pump.  They didn’t, but fairly quickly, maintenance staff arrived at our door with a portable electric air compressor--amazing customer service!  Dinner at the Bahama Breeze Island Grille was excellent (as was last night’s dinner at 13 Coins in Seatac).

Tomorrow promises to be a delightful 41-mile ride across Tampa Bay on the Courtney Campbell Causeway and south to St. Petersburg.  We’ll be on trails most of the day (Bayshore, Reams Wilson, Duke Energy, and Pinellas trails). 

Pictures are promised for tomorrow’s post.  Until then, Happy Trails!
