Travis Meares

Rough and rugged…Travis could be described this way but don’t let the Marlboro man appearance fool you, he really enjoys watching movies and cuddling. If that isn’t enough to raise your temperature then look into his eyes and melt away.

Your date will start with a chauffeured ride to the Florida Aquarium where you can get to know each other surrounded by all the beauty and mystery that the ocean has to offer. After you’ve soaked in one another for a while head on over to Tina Tapas’ for some private dining and drinks. Enjoy Channelside or head north to Travis’ Pub here in New Port Richey.

Spending time at the beach is one of his favorite past times. The two of you will head to Clearwater to breathe in the salty air. Lay on the beach, wade in refreshing water, and enjoy getting to know one another. If you get hungry, don’t worry Joe has taken care of that. He’ll bring some ice cold refreshments and don’t forget the delicious snacks compliments of Joseppi’s. As the sun sets it’s time to pack up the toys and head for some nourishment. Make sure to bring a change of clothes so that you can enjoy some fine dining on the beach.

Dr. Vigel Varkay

Remember the fun you had playing Doctor as a child. Well how about checking this Doctor out. I think I have a fever.
