The Tampa Bay area has that elusive quality that many attribute to the "real Florida." The state's second-largest metro area is less fast-lane than its biggest (Miami), or even Orlando, but its strengths are just as varied, from broad cultural diversity to a sun-worshipping beach culture. Florida's third-busiest airport, a vibrant business community, world-class beaches, and superior hotels and resorts -- many of them historic -- make this an excellent place to spend a week or a lifetime.

You'll dock near Georgetown.  Take the hour or so that it takes to wander through the shops & boutiques.  Georgetown offers numerous shopping opportunities as boutiques, shops and stores are in great abundance. There are additional shopping opportunities at some of the resorts and stores along Seven Mile Beach.  You find everything one can imagine with many duty-free shops as well offering duty free prices on perfumes and cosmetics, jewelry, designer fashion accessories, photographic equipment, china, crystal and everything else under the sun.

If you are looking for some sunshine head out to 7 Mile Beach. Truly seven miles in length, 7 Mile Beach is perfect with lots of pure white sand and crystal clear tropical water. Dragging a lounge chair into the shallow water and just relaxing is about as content as one can get. Virtually all of the Cayman Island resorts are located along this strip and taking a walk along 7 Mile Beach is relaxing AND fun! .

Grand Cayman is a divers paradise.  The West Wall is a dive site renowned for its beauty and for the fact that both experienced and amateur divers can explore it.

With a Mexican heart and a Caribbean soul, Cozumel is a paradise where tradition, flavor and joy come together. You will always find a friendly face and a warm welcome to make your stay an unforgettable one.

Famous all over the world for its coral reefs, there are plenty of water sports such as diving, deep-sea fishing, snorkeling, kayaking and more. Cozumel's mostly undeveloped territory at the center of the island is covered by jungle and swampy lagoons, which are home to tiny mammals and endemic birds that have never left the island. Noteworthy is the Chankanaab National Park, a Cozumel icon, and the Punta Sur Ecological Reserve. This huge protected area at the southern tip of the island includes Punta Celarain and its historical lighthouse, as well as the Colombia Lagoon, a shelter for many of the island's endemic species, as well as other endangered forms of life, such as marine turtles and their nesting areas.
