Did you ever have the same type of infatuation with a faraway place yourself?

OK, I take phone orders for a very posh mail order company. It's all the hunting, shooting, fishing type. They're all Lord or Lady someone - or - other. The company is called Presents For Men, though we sell all kinds of products. We have a website if you want to look. It's presentsformen.com!!!

Her son lived in Dubai, but used to rent a place in Madrid and he was taking his ex landlord to court. She worked as a pet sitter, she had recently stayed in a swanky hotel in London which was so trendy it had no name on the door, etc. etc. etc. She was a lovely lady! I think she might have been lonely which is a shame!!!

Originally Posted By u k fan Hmmmm... I don't know about infatuation, but I'd love to visit Hawaii, China and Japan in particular. When I was younger it was always WDW that I really wanted to visit, but I've done that now. I remember writing when I was 11 at school that my dream was to visit WDW by the time I was 21 so I was young enough to enjoy it! How little I knew! Well I made it to WDW in my 21st year, and as good as achieving your dream is, it's a real bummer afterwards when you no longer have a dream!!!

It's not really a learning thing, but it's the home and sense of community that LP gives me that I like so much!!!
Originally Posted By u k fan I have a really poor memory of my childhood particularly of events around that era. I'm sure I can remember things, but I couldn't be sure when they happened. My parents divorced when I was about 11 so there were probably some arguments back then. We probably also took our first family holiday around then, 5 of us crammed in a tiny caravan in Somerset. One thing I do remember (kind of) is getting Baptised at church. We had had a new font built recently and I was the 2nd person to use it. I can remember my teacher's name it was Mrs Morgan and my best friend in school was called Jennie. And sad but true me and Jennie was like peas and carrots!!!

Originally Posted By u k fan I have 2 in chronological order they are: Visiting the HoND train on it's European tour the day before my 18th birthday.

Alton Towers is the UK's number 1 themepark and the hotel was very new and posh and for a couple of my party it was their first time in a full blown hotel. We had a wonderful time and if I could go back in time I would relive that day forever. Second, my first ride on Spaceship Earth. I was only off the plane a couple of hours, but we hit Epcot straight away and SE was our first ride. It became a tradition to do SE first after that and it will always hold a special place in my heart!!!
