Not particularily new to the forum but here goes.....

My name is Leslie Brown and I live in Stonehaven, 15mls south of Aberdeen in NE Scotland, with my fiancée Babette who originally hails from Portsmouth, SE England.
We both work in the oil industry for multi-national companies.
We have been together for six years, got engaged two years ago and are expecting our first child in October.

I have been in the US four times now.
First time was on a 12 day rugby tour to Texas in April 1992 – played in Galveston, San Antonio and Houston - highlight was probably visiting the Alamo in downtown San Antonio.
Second time was a 10 day trip to New York with Babette – did everything including the helicopter trip and queued to get into the torch of the Statue of Liberty – we were on the top of the WTC on 11th March – exactly six months before 9/11 – a chilling reminder when we watch the video of the trip.
Our first trip to Orlando was a weeklong hotel holiday in June 2002.
Our first time in a villa was April/May 2003 at Thousand Oaks where we also did some touring around Florida during a 13-night trip. http://www.orlando-guide.info/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=3905'] ('[url) Check Out Our Trip Report [/url]

Most interesting fact is that our house was hit by lightning last August (yes – we were in at the time) and we had an insurance claim to replace nearly every electrical item in the house!

Babette lived in Clanfield (up the A3 a bit from Pompy) but I met her when we both worked with Motorola in Maidenhead. Her family still stay there but it is about a 550miles drive from Aberdeen so we don't see them very often. No doubt all that will change when we give them their first grandchild later in the year! :D

Cheers
Les
