There are Lions everywhere, Busch Gardens, Lowry Park Zoo, Big Cat Rescue and even the Tampa Convention Center.  If you look hard enough you might even find a Sea Lion at the Florida Aquarium.

What's that you say, you would rather take in 18 holes of golf then visit an area zoo?  With over 100 golf courses in the greater Tampa Bay area we're sure you'll find a course that suits your needs.  You'll probably even find a fellow Lion who's willing to share a round with you.

If you're up for an adventure you might consider embarking on a five day pre-forum or seven day post-forum cruise that Cruise Holidays of Viera has put together. Think about it, Cozumel, the Grand Caymans and Mahogany Bay, all on the same cruise?  What will the Western Caribbean have in store for you?
