LS Kite Stakes Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 I am looking into it Kelly! Big Question, how to get from Tampa Bay Airport to the hotel without renting a car...... I am sure it is a bit more than I would want to walk Also, I would like to bring my kitestakes, would that be a issue? (the ones I sell) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(the ones I sell) Walt, There are many options for transfer from the airport to the "Bird", not the least of which is a ride from one of us, based on your arrival. Short of that there are shuttle options, taxis and car services. Just do a search for travel options to Treasure Island from TPA. Once your flights are set let us know when you arrive (and leave) and no doubt someone could hook you up with a ride. Certainly Alden or I would help if the timing works out right.

Oh, I guess that's ok since he is the "West Coast Alden". -Alden 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellykelly Posted June 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Let me know what day you are coming in and flying out. I'm sure we can work something out! Drop me a note at and we can chat about your ideas. Hope you can come!!! [email protected] Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LS Kite Stakes Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 I will be there! I have booked the room at T-bird, and need to wait a couple weeks to book the flight. I will probably arrive Friday evening on Southwest Airlines at Tampa Bay Airport, and leave Monday morning/afternoon. Hopefully everything will coalesce into a great time for all! I will finally be able to say "AARRR" like a pirate...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
