If you have never had the opportunity to travel to the beautiful Tampa Bay area - you're in for a real treat.

Fall in Florida is a glorious time. Balmy days and breathtaking nights await you, as you explore one of Florida'smost delightful areas. But what to do, where to go, how to start? The easiest way is with the St. Petersburg/Clearwater Convention and Visitor's Bureau web site, a complete directory for dining, lodging, and entertainment in the area.

The SESUG '03 conference is accessible by land, air - and maybe even sea! A number of airlines service the Tampa/St. Pete area; click here to get detail information on the local airports from the Convention and Visitors Bureau. The Silver Line of Amtrak also serves the Tampa area, if you prefer the scenic view that only comes from traveling by rail.
