I'm Going to Tampa in February

I did it, and I'm either half insane or half crazy, maybe both.
I booked a flight to Tampa for February of 2009. I don't know where I'm staying, I don't know who else is going, I don't know what it will cost, but I'll land in Tampa on Feb. 18 and I'll leave on Feb. 22. Four nights, five days.

I will most likely be going by myself, and I'm perfectly fine with that.

I don't think I'm totally crazy. I did use my Midwest miles to book the flight. I wanted to do this before they start charging for award travel, which is what many airlines are doing.

And I figured if I had a free flight coming, I'm going to go where I want (somewhere warm) and when I want (when it's not warm here). Up until now, I considered saving up to go to Costa Rica, taking a cruise from LA or going to Vegas. I don't know that Tampa would be my first choice on a free flight, but I do know two things. It will be warmer than here next February, and I'll be itching to get away. There are tons of cute towns along the Gulf Coast, so that is probably where I'll end up if I end up renting a car.

So now when I'm having a crummy day, I'll just think about Tampa in February...
