The salty breeze of an ocean tickles your nose. You gaze up, and there is not a cloud in the sky on this perfect day. Nearby you hear kids playing in the sand and the lap of a wave hitting the shore. Maybe you''ll rent a paddleboard and soak up a slice of bliss on the open water. Maybe you''ll return to land for a more exciting adventure at an amusement park, or learn something new at a museum. The choice is yours, and all doors are available to you. Whether you want to soak up some vitamin D or a bit of knowledge, there is something here to suit your tastes. Welcome to Tampa, Florida. You''re in the sunshine state now, and it''s all rainbows from here.

Book your Tampa vacation package on Global Flight Catchers, and you have plenty of time to start planning your excursions under the Floridian sun. Begin your urban adventure at the Florida Aquarium and Lowry Park Zoo, which is a great spot to make some new furry or feathered friends. If larger than life felines are up your alley, stop by the Big Cat Rescue to peek at the creatures and get an educational tour. Visit the Ybor City State Museum, which puts local history on display, or devote time to the historic Tampa Theatre. If you just want to play, you can go canoeing, trek through Lettuce Lake Park, or splash around in the ocean. When night falls, wine and dine in Ybor City or Harbour Island.
