jajberns Welcome to the forum
Have a look here in the DL forum http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/delta...-skymiles-665/
It is not hard to find 4 segments

Have you looked around for fares?
Here is a list of some online travel agencies:

You can also check delta.com and put in random cities which are not served non-stop from Tampa to guarantee 4 segments on a round trip.

I'd look for trips requiring connections to places where DL competes with a LCC. BWI or MDW could work. Or look at places where DL wants especially to compete with AA/US or UA/CO: their hubs or focus cities like BNA, STL, RDU, AUS if you don't want to just search randomly.
Alternatively, where would you enjoy spending a weekend? Perhaps AUS, BNA, or MSY would be fun. NYC is likely to be expensive.

Mileage Run Discussion, which is described as "Discussion of methods to maximize miles and/or points either through trips dedicated to no other reason than the miles/points, or through creative alteration of trips to extend their earning capacity in often unique ways."

There's also a far easier method than putting in random cities on Delta.com. Google.com/flights, put in your origin city and dates you can travel, and filter to Skyteam airlines.

Welcome to FlyerTalk… as several members have directed you to other forums that might be helpful to you, and since this discussion does not belong at the Info Desk, I've locked the thread. I recommend you take a look at the http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/mileage-run-deals-372/ forum to see if anybody has posted any fares that might be useful to you.
Good luck.
