So this Friday, our family is hitting the road to sunny Florida where we rented a house in St Pete for 2 weekshappy guy.gif. We are all excited as we have never been there and started trying out new places(focusing on Florida for now) each our vacation after renting the same houses in Surfside(Myrtle), SC for 10+ years. We’ve done Clearwater Beach and Palm Coast the last 2 vaca.

It’ll be a well deserved & much needed vaca as work has been insane with the BofA/ML mergerhammer.gif I have been working on among many other things! I am drained and burned out. So looking forward to chilling, playing with the kids, sleeping in…Thumbsup3.gif No stress, meetings, conf calls… We found a small house recently refurnished with a pool, hot tub and grill in the back! cool.gif Kids picked it!

So we’ll be spending a lot of time at the beach and pool side. I am hoping to rent jet skis and a boat one day and maybe go to nearby islands if possible (don’t know the area at all). I am also taking my mountain bike.

 

 

SO fellow WIS, I would also like to check out the area for activities so I was wondering if any of you had any suggestions on what is worth doing/seeing/visiting in or near St Pete. I really don’t want to drive a lot on vaca, so nearby activities preferred and we are taking our dogs so can’t leave them alone too long. It also needs to be suitable stuff for 5, 10 and 12 yr olds.

 

Finally the WIS question… I need to select a few watches to take with me. It should be easier now since my collection is drastically reduced to 11 watches ( and pending 4 preorders). I am thinking of taking 4 only in my Benarus travel roll. So here’s my current collection:

 OMEGA Seamaster 2254 & Ti 2232.80, DOXA 5000T Pro & 750T Sharkhunter, Breitling Jupiter Pilot, Hamilton Tachymiler, Oris TT1, Benarus GMT Worldiver ETA #50, Boschett CD1 #29, Swatch Irony Retrograde, Invicta PD 4508 CF

 

So knowing where I am going and what I’ll be doing (plus a few dinners out and Margaritas a few nights subtlelaugh.gif), I was curious which you would select to help me decide! J

 I'm thinking the Boschett on Rubber would be the ultimate beach watch!ThumbsUp02.gif

 

Thank you for reading,
