On Saturday, February 29, 2020, I will be celebrating my 21st Leap Year birthday sitting down with invited guests, exactly where I don't know for sure.

Might seem a little too early to start preparations but it isn't. Actually, I started March 1, 2016, and since then I have been going to restaurants to pick out THE one for 2020. After 2 years and 9 months, I decided on Nabu. Now remember, or if you don't know, February is 'high' season for tourists in Fort Lauderdale plus add a Saturday night.

I spoke to the manager about reserving a certain section of the restaurant and, when he asked for the date and I told him, he laughed and said that he doesn't have a calendar for that year yet!

Now you have to understand that approximately 2,000 restaurants open and close in Broward County so when I asked, with a smile, if they would still be open he answered that they would but he had no idea what the prices would be.

Next, it gets to starting a guest list, working on the invitation cards, ordering the special cake, deciding on a backup restaurant just in case, check prices and recommendations of hotels for guests from out of State and/or country. See what is happening in the city between Thursday, February 27 and March 4 such as theatre--in 2016 we went to see "Kinky Boots"---and what other restaurants I want the out-of-towners to go to and what has been new since my 20th birthday.

Oh, and yes, I have to get started on my birthday gift list--I try to do everything for my guests!

Aside from the pictures above--taken this past Thursday eating lunch at Nabu--here is an example of their menu.
