SPRING FORWARD

Welcome to the spring training/ spring cleaning issue of Bay. We are excited to feature some of the Tampa Bay Rays players as our fashion models this month as they prepare to launch the team’s 27th season of baseball in St. Petersburg. The home opener is March 28 against the Toronto Blue Jays.

In my own home, I have been busy trying to attack the many belongings we've accumulated over the years. We’re downsizing and decluttering to sell the family home where we’ve lived for more than two decades. Thanks to some great advice from professional organizers, estate sellers and friends who have all gone to bat for us, we have covered all the bases. I’ll share some of the knowledge I have gained along the way and the best tips I have received from those in the know.

After all the packing, moving and storing, we’re looking ahead to traveling in 2024. We are welcoming Cindy Cockburn, a public relations and special events consultant, to Bay. She’ll be sharing her insights and inside tips for luxury travel in Florida and around the world in her new column, Travels with CC.

So, if spring is a season of new beginnings, we are well on our way in Bay.
