| Clearwater Beach, Florida |
International traveling is a fantastic experience. When there’s not enough time or money to trip the light fantastic, create lasting memories with a trip to other parts of your own country, territory, or state. Here’s the world - make a pick.
 |
| Don't be shy - pick a destination |
Add a timeline to your bucket list. Vague words like “someday”
or “when we have the money” just don’t have a sense of urgency! Think of the
advantages when you travel sooner rather than later - more energy, last-minute
bargain rates, and the thrill of knowing an anticipated event will happen soon.
My sister J and I opted to visit Clearwater Beach, Florida
several years ago. It was close to the area where our convention was being
held. The location put us on target to drive up and see Mickey, Minnie, and the
international appeal of Epcot Center. Airfares were down and she had a discount
on a car rental. It was a great opportunity to visit good friends and make new
ones.
Wow! There's five good reasons before I even list the others.
 |
| Reason 1. Beautiful Florida sunsets |
Mother Nature is amazing.
 |
| Reason 2. Fun at the beach |
Calm surf and clear green waters are inviting.
 | ||
| Reason 3. Another beautiful Florida sunset |
The sunset's never the same. Why take a chance on missing the best one of all?
 |
| Reason 4. Peace and quiet early in the day at the beach |
There is time for a stroll as the earth greets the sun before the rush of the day.
 |
| Reason 5. The sun kisses the water as it sets into the ocean. |
Three Clearwater Beach sunsets, none the same. We live in an incredible world.
Every bridge leads somewhere. Each one is the result of a quest to get from one place to another.

We've never visited Clearwater Beach, but I'd love to go there with the family. It's so gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE to visit clearwater. I've heard lots of great things about it, my sister had been many times and shard many stories! - Jeanine
ReplyDeleteI love Clearwater Beach. We have family that lives near it.
ReplyDeleteI have never visited Florida, but I will definitely check out Clearwater when I do get out there. I'm an even mix of both, my personal travel tends to be more 'spontaneous' and business trips more 'planned'
