My mother plus I travel all the time for concerts.
Typically my buddy and I check Tampa, Florida since they have a nice location, however it sucks driving there since it is three hours, however also, that city doesn’t entirely have much to do.
I then got a brain blast… Why not St, then petersburg? They are right near Tampa plus must have important concerts there. In St. Petersburg it is more beach oriented too. I found a wonderful concert coming up plus I surprised my mother for her b afternoon… My friend and I ended up getting a hotel room that was both on the beach, but walking distance to the concert location. My friend and I saw the concert one afternoon plus ended up lingering in St. Petersburg since there was so much to do! Laying on the beach takes a full afternoon in my opinion. Then there is shopping, hockey, massages, walking through the city, trying out the local restaurant, the list goes on. I would say my number one part was the time of year my buddy and I went. The two of us went during the fall season. People started to say goodbye to the tourist season. The snowbirds were just starting to feel about coming to Florida. My mother plus I timed it where basically my buddy and I were the only ones in the hotel room. Late in the fall season in St. Petersburg means that the temperatures are still in the 70s. My friend and I still had to use the hotel a/c the entire trip. It was that warm but totally comfortable where my buddy and I were staying. I will do that again for sure.
