5 to 28 February, 2007. We decided that the 29 foot motorhome was too cumbersome so we got rid of it and then purchased a more manageable 20 foot motorhome. We parked it on a street near all the construction occurring here. Large condos are being built to replace this run-down warehouse district. This area is adjacent to Channelside Drive, which is actually one of the most active regions in Tampa. Cruise ships, including Carnival's "Inspiration" take on passengers near here. The Channelside area is also where large ships take on gypsum that is mined nearby. It's a touristy area, serving embarking and debarking cruise ship passengers, complete with expensive restaurants, bars and a theater. Our little 20 foot motorhome blended in nicely and no one was the wiser that we were sleeping inside.
