Great new eatery near Tampa - Rapscallions!

We visited a great new restaurant in Land O Lakes yesterday, and if you're
ever in the area you owe it to yourself to pay a visit. It's owned by
parrotheads (Shael & Jamie are members of the Tampa PHC) and the food is
"to die for"! I don't think you can get better "island style" food anywhere...
not even in the islands! And the setting is great! The location is waterfront,
with great views from each of the 3 dining rooms (Beach, Caribbean &
Captain's). The bar is large and grand! And I've never felt more welcome in
any establishment on my first visit. Thanks Shael, Jamie, Keith and Glenda!
Be sure to order something that comes with the "passion fruit cream"... like
the coconut shrimp appetizer or the sea scallop dinner entree. Seafood, fruit
and cream... It was worth the 400 mile round trip! Who woulda thunk it?

Jack is a sweety. We just visited with him & Deb in Tennessee, and much to
the dismay of the Paris PHClub there, they will be moving back to FL soon. 
How about we plan this "meeting/meating" for August 6th, then? Maybe GB can
take us all for a big ol' boat ride the day after? *hint, hint*

I'm trying to get to FL in July, not sure if I can make it in Aug, although if I am planning the move I will need to do some scouting...I'll put it on my calendar and see what I can do..
