Has anyone been to the Panagia Vlahernon Monastery in Florida?

I live less than an hour south of it and my Grandparents lived only a few miles away, and honestly, I didn't know about it until I saw a donation box for it in a predominantly Greek town.

Edit:
I just found out about this one, even closer to where I live.
I learn something new everyday.

I have been to both of those monasteries that you linked to. I used to live in Florida and took several trips there with my godmother. The Annunciation is a women's monastery, and Panagia Vlahernon is a men's monastery. I always enjoyed my time there.

PS. I always loved attending the feast of the Annunciation at the women's monastery. Metropolitan ALEXIOS usually attends and it's quite the awesome service.
