That sounds great. Sounds like you really found your calling. Congrats on getting your license completed...that's a great accomplishment.
I would love to find something where I could involve my dad. Although, we might try to kill each other after a week or so...that's about our tolerance limit for one another.
I remember Publix well. My wife (hispanic) and I giggled quite a bit when we had to spend all our time on the "ethnic" isle just to find spices for cooking.
Yeah, we get like that from time to time as well,
Publix opened a whole line of Hispanic themed stores down in Miami called Sabor or something
