I'm fine with downtown as long as the homeless population is under control.
TPA - Airport to Clearwater beach can be 30+ min. Friday and Saturday can be 45-60. Not sure I want the beach.
MIA- We are practically on the water. $2 and 3 stops on the bus you are on Ocean drive. Food is a little cheaper where we are now. I like this layover as is.
FLL- We have changed hotels so many times here. Where we are now you can trolley for $1 or run to the beach. Food and grocery store much better where we are now. The old old setup was pretty sweet though.
JAX- Atlantic Beach? Too far!!!!
