Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 388 | Hope this is the appropriate place to enter a warm THANK YOU to two fantastic people. On our way to Busch Gardens with our company in tow, we stopped at the delightful Habana Cafe in Gulfport, Florida, owned by our own Jo and DavidCPA, and were enthralled with the most delicious Cuban cuisine we have ever savored. We were utterly charmed by David's wife and can now understand why he is head over heels for this vivacious and sweet lady. My wish for everyone on this board, is for your taste and swallowing issues to come back well enough to vacation in Florida and make room for a visit to a most fascinating restaurant, enjoy exceptional Cuban food, and maybe, if you are lucky, get a visit from David and/or his first lady! Thanks, you two, for your hospitality and outstanding food and service at the Habana Cafe. We fell in love!  Jane and Dick

Let's see, Jo and I have now gotten to meet 3 different OCF posters and their spouses and have been able to entertain many more OC patients since joining this site and it's way better than exchanging posts. I didn't get much time to spend with the group as I already had a prearranged client meeting at his office but Jo was able to and she shared her time spent with me later.
Please visit us if you're near St Petersburg, Fl but try to avoid Tax Season.
