Rowdy Tampa Bay

I made it back to Bermuda last night but in line with my recent travel exploits, my luggage didn’t. Pain in the arse but less so coming home than going, except I couldn’t have a shave today so I hope my new client likes the George Michael look!

Just 18 hours in Tampa but it was certainly worth the effort. Good meetings and a great dinner in a place called Ocean Prime. Later in a bar called something Martini I was bewildered to see so many people out on a Tuesday night. I had an excuse as I was drowning a lot of sorrow, but I wondered what the good looking folk of Tampa were all going to do when they got up the next day.

We left with a Tropical Storm kicking up a lot of rain out in the Gulf but Tampons or whatever they call themselves don’t bother with hurricanes unless it is a Category 3. I do like that coast of Florida, I mean no one is normal in Florida but they seem a bit more with it on that western side and the beach towns of Clearwater, St Petersburg, Venice and Naples are definitely worth exploring.

Back on the rock today I have an American client, one of the large US television networks, with us the whole day. There will be a bit of handholding, a lot of listening, and three more meals. Hopefully I can shave tomorrow.
