Thanks for all the info. I checked out the Sea World Board and got some good info about Busch Gardens, I also have AAA, so that was great info too. I'm a crafty old theme park veteran, and any information is helpful, because I have never been there. My kids are 11 and 8, and love Universal, so the relaxing vacation on St Pete's Beach ended up too close to Busch Gardens to pass it up. I think 2 out of our 6 days is plenty for the vacation as far as Busch Gardens goes. So we will end up spending some time at the hotel and beach. I've never seen the Gulf of Mexico, so I'm kind of psyched for that. The hotel looks beautiful, but the web sites do not give up too many room pictures. I'm sure once I fire up all the search engines, I'll find more pics and info. Thanks again.
