Do I need another reason to become a Tampa Bay Lightning season ticket holder? The city of Tampa Bay is constructing an outdoor ice skating venue downtown. A ninety minute skate will cost you $10.00 and that includes skate rental!

Okay, with this installation I am officially campaigning for a job in Tampa Bay. There's NHL hockey there; unlike the Canucks, Lightning tickets are affordable, I wouldn't be far from Disney World and Cape Canaveral , and a good friend of mine lives just down the coast! (And yes, rocket launches are on my list of things to do)

That's it...I'm sharpening my skates and heading for the sunshine in Tampa to get my glide on!

Happy Outdoor Skating, Bolts fans!
