(dissenting).

I cannot agree that personal service was accomplished on defendant Betancourt. The appropriate method for such service in this case is that set out in section 48.194, Florida Statutes (1999), which method was not followed by plaintiff Villar-Pinero. As a result, the trial court should have quashed the improper service of process.
