Words cannot express how grateful I am for the vision of paradise on Earth you created in the Mai Kai, Jack. May you be enjoying beautiful waterfalls, lush plants, fresh fruits, and delicious libations even now, just as I do at the Molokai Bar every chance I can.
How I wished I lived in Ft. Lauderdale to be able to enjoy it more often!
Most sincerely,
