Question Hi,
I'm not sure wether you are the right people to ask or not! I'm from England and will be visiting Tampa over the Xmas Vacations and into the New Year this year (from 16th Dec to 6th Jan). I was wondering if there is anything special happening in the area that you know of. I will be staying in the Odessa area if that makes a difference, also if you could tell me which newspapers to get while I am there to check out what's happening and any other stuff you could advise me about Tampa. I look forward to your reply.
Thanks
Nick
Answer Great time of year to visit. The weather is great, there is much to do and you can usually enjoy the holiday festivies at many of the major attractions.
There is always the Disney Holiday Festival in Orlando.
The Universal and Bush Gardens Theme parks have holiday festivals. I suggest you check out : http://tbo.com
which is a great web page. There is a THINGS TO DO section which will help you plan.
Another good site for Tampa is:http://www.visittampabay.com/
You will love it in Tampa/Orlando/Odessa during that time of year!
