Spring Break 2019 - Day 1

We decided to take a beach vacation this time. Rent something on the beach so that we can go to the beach any time we want. It was definitely a dream vacation. We chose to go to Clearwater beach because of its miles of white sandy beaches and direct flight to Tampa. 

We started on Saturday which was also Padwa, ‘Marathi New Year’. Morning Jai did the special Pooja. We did small gudhi inside this time since we need to leave home by 11.



I made our favorite god poli to take with us. We packed very light. Look at my bag, I had everything for 7 days including 2 pairs of extra shoes.


Day flight is good since you get to see outside. Enjoyed the flight!
There are very long bridges connecting to small islands near Tampa. While landing we witnessed  sunset on Gulf of Mexico and this beautiful bridge.
Jai was happy to get some warm weather, he took off jacket immediately as we reached to airport.

Drive to our hotel was through Tampa Bay and it was beautiful, water on both sides and tracks for running/biking. In fact, there was a dedicated bridge for runners and bikers.

Our hotel was just next to the beach but it was dark so couldn’t go on the beach but looked very happening area. Many people were walking and lots of restaurants on the beach side.

I couldn’t wait for the morning to go to the beach. We went to eat dinner at Frenchy's which was just across the hotel. Veggie burger and beer both were yummy!!

Day ended with lots of curiosity for the beach.

Puerto Rico - Day 4

Today we woke up and directly went to beach walk. It was our breakfast our day, we went to a very fancy place on Isla Verde. Food was unique and tasty! Walk to castle through stunning old San Juan  Bobba is must! We got ready and headed to castle visits. Both the castles in old San Juan are along ocean, built by local Indian people and then taken over by Spanish people. They are huge and in good space. Views and structure is breathtaking! We booked an underwater walking tour ( introductory scuba) so we went there in the afternoon. I was scared in the beginning but did it later in second round. They give bread in your hand so lots of fishes come near you, it was amazing experience. The resort where it was located was very beautiful! We ended our day by exploring Condado area and eating Asian food! Again the food was great! Day 5 link http://ourweekendsdiary.blogspot.com/2023/02/puerto-rico-day-5.html
