After having such an awesome time @ Seaworld the drive to Tampa wasn't too bad traffic-wise, especially not after we got past Tampa & headed to St.Petersburg, where the Baseball stadium is!! We'd found some hotel nearby on the internet but it looked like the Jurby Hotel when we rolled up, so we quickly sped away without stopping & found another one nearby, which was a tad expensive but we managed to drop them down from $140 a night for a twin room to $99 with our charm, result!!
Anyway the game was due to start @ 7.08pm, so we got a free shuttle to the ground from just around the corner to our hotel, and headed to Tropicana Field to watch my beloved Red Sox...!! And Alderman's now I may add!! Game was awesome - pretty low scoring; 2-2 after the 9 innings but because there are no ties in Baseball, it ended up going to extra innings, before the Rays won 4-2 in the 13th :-( It was still awesome though, had some good banter with a few of the Tampa fans, there were loads of Red Sox fans there though as you'd expect, and we had really good seats. The game lasted 4 hours 58 minutes too...so we definitely got our moneys worth!!
Anyway we got back to the hotel about 12.30am and have a bit of a driving day ahead now, we're about to leave St.Petersburg and head North, and then West, to Panama City FL...which we're hoping will be a pretty ace drive!!
