Try between the airlines' websites, travelocity and expedia all at the same time and at different times of the day. Also it is a great tip to just check for better deals during the night of your flight. If you take the first flight out during the day you might luck out with prices too.

I'd try cheaptickets or cheapflights. But 500 is pushing it. Any decent hotel in Fl. is at least 100 a night. But good luck. Try Motel 6, Travelodge, Days Innn, it's just a place to sleep and shower and they serve their purpose well.

well its very good that you are planning ahead. airplane tickets are usually a lot cheaper. i would go to expedia.com or hotel.com and try to see what their best rates for their packages are. then call up and do them seperately and figure out what way will be cheaper.but honestly, i think 500 isn't enough. i would say at least up to $650 (hotels are pretty pricey-depends on what star rating you want, you get what you pay for)

Check on line for the Tampa area w/the hotels & see what packages they have to offer. My daughter does this all the time & comes up w/some fabulous deals! Good luck
