Hi Everyone,

I'm going to be brand new to Tampa in less than two weeks. My 29th birthday is the first week of July. I won't know anyone in Tampa, so I'll be alone on my birthday. I'm just wondering if you have any ideas for something a girl can do for her 29th birthday alone in Tampa. Keep in mind that the 29th birthday is a milestone--eek, I'll be 30 next year!--so I want it to be special/awesome/and depression-free.

Thanks!

parasailing?

bar hopping in SoHo or Channelside, or at St Pete Beach?

kayak tour?

Ummmm....jet ski tour?

horseback riding?

Spa day at Safety Harbour?

Not sure what you like to do...but those are some suggestions.

Plenty of escort services in the Tampa bay area,maybe treat yourself to a hunk for the day..
Or just join a group at Meetup.com, i typed in singles but you could change that to just about any interest you might have..

From what i heard, those meetups are not for 30s crowd but rather 40+.

I would suggest day at the beach and then hit soho for the night, or maybe just stay at the beach bar with new friends you'll make.
Other things you could do is take boat tour to see dolphins, bush gardens for some adrenaline, or take a trip to disney studios in orlando.

Girls are funny - the 29th birthday is a milestone because next year you'll be 30? Turning 30 is the milestone. You're still in your 20's.

Having said that, you should treat yourself to something for every birthday. I'd think a spa day would be a good choice since it's not a social activity and you mentioned not knowing anyone. Safety Harbour was a good suggestion.

You could go for a ride in a plane and the pilot will let you fly it. It's not as expensive as you might think if you just want to have someone take you up for 30 min or an hour. There's Tampa Executive Airport and there's also Peter O'Knight. Here's a link to a place at the latter: Atlas Aviation Tampa Flight Training, Learn to Fly, Flight School, FBO There's also Albert Whitted Airport right by downtown St. Petersburg: http://www.stpete.org/airport/businesses.asp

If you go to the day spa, I'd suggest skipping Safety Harbor and go instead to Saddlebrook. I've been to both this year.
