In early March I spent 8 days on Florida’s Siesta Key in Sarasota going to 9 baseball games featuring 9 teams in 6 parks. The mostly sunny weather was warm with high temperatures ranging from mid 70’s to low 80’s. This year, I decided to fly into Tampa International Airport and see a Saturday day game in Clearwater before heading south 50 miles to Siesta Key. Due to a shortage of air traffic controllers and unprecedented spring break travelers, my morning flight was cancelled. Since most flights to Tampa were cancelled, and seeing a game in Clearwater was not going to happen, I quickly booked a nonstop afternoon flight to Sarasota and revised rental car reservation to this new destination. Although I had a long stay at Midway Airport, I was able to reach Siesta Key by the end of the day. Getting a flight on Thursday or Friday will be strongly considered in the future.
