Young Bliss Life

I recently just got back from a mini vacation with my family in Clearwater outside of Tampa. Before I begin to boast about how nice it was, I'll explain why I chose Clearwater. I was treating my grandmother and a family member to a mini vacation so I wanted something that wasn't filled with children or drunk young adults. Clearwater was the perfect mixture of age groups. We stayed at the Hilton Clearwater resort which had a balcony overlooking the harbor and beach front. The beach as literally outside the pool area of the hotel. While the beach chairs cost to rent, you could just buy something from the bar and sit at the tables closest to the pool or bring your beach towels close to the shore and settle in the sand. The beach is very spread out and not crowded unlike South Beach and there's a bunch of mom and pop restaurants and shops right outside the hotel.

  Since I'm new to the blog life, I might do a little recap on my past experiences. Last summer, I did study abroad in Costa Rica and had the opportunity to explore on our downtime. Some girls and I went to Uvita, Costa Rica. While we had A LOTTT of mishaps just trying to get to this place, we did eventually make it and it was beautiful. This area has a lot of expats but its a underdeveloped beach town. It's a little more expensive because it is a little more Americanized but most of the Pacific Coast is. If you want something a little more ethnic, I heard the Caribbean Coast is the best place for it. I personally didn't have the opportunity to go since we were traveling locally and mainly underdeveloped but if you have transportation, I'm sure its worth it. The best experience about being on the Pacific Coast was watching the sunset. It's definitely something I wouldn't trade for the world.     Pura Vida
