Tampa, but on the beach somewhere in Pinellas County.

Sarasota or ft Myers as options

Need more info, especially on what you and the kids like to do.

Tampa itself doesn’t have a beach you’d need to go to St Pete or other areas slightly west of there to go to the beach. You could base out of Tampa and drive but probably easier to stay on the beach. In Tampa proper there’s a great aquarium and zoo, plus Busch Gardens. You’re also drivable to Legoland and Disney but would recommend staying overnight in Orlando if you did that.

Miami has great beaches and a lot of the resorts have great pools and all kinds of stuff on property. We were just at the Ritz Carlton in Miami Beach last week and there were tons of families with kids there. If your main interest is beach St Pete or Fort Lauderdale would likely be cheaper though. Overall Miami and Fort Lauderdale will likely be a little warmer than Tampa / St. Pete this time of year so that may argue in their favor.

Depending on what you would like to do I would recommend Fort Lauderdale. Check out the Marriott Harbor Beach resort. That’s my go to staycation spot - very family friendly.

Tampa if you like to explore the area. Good beaches at Clearwater/st Pete, museums and aquariums for kids, some outlet shopping/international mall, and family friendly restaurants everywhere. Miami/ft Lauderdale may be better if you like posting up on the beach/hanging out at the hotel or resort. There’s museums and stuff to do there too, but feel Tampa is more kid friendly.

This is a story of my friend i met a month back. He is in mid 30’s. According to him, Marriage is becoming so difficult these days. He had multiple meetings via matrimonial sites. Salary, big home, job profile, joint vs nuclear family, homely vs career oriented, no cooking like ever, NRI demand, god knows how many more reasons of mismatch he faced.
He said he had a relationship earlier which didn’t worked out. He was literally emotional and so misses her now. She got married couple of years back

One of my friends has been given a choice, to work with an extremely outrageous target or to leave the firm. If he chooses to stay, he will be bound to serve a total time of 6 months. And if he refuses, tomorrow will be his last day, what can I suggest to him?

It's a critical decision and he is overwhelmed by this sudden obstacle. Any leads would be helpful.

Is there a polite/gentle way to talk to your boyfriend about the fact that he has gained a lot of weight in the past year and needs more physical activity in his life?

I am not a very shallow person — he was already on the heavier side when we met. But when I look at photos from just a year ago, it’s clear he’s put on a lot of weight. I am worried about his health. I don’t want to overstep or make him feel insecure. Just wondering if anyone else has ever been here.
