I met my first friends at the villages on ther internet!!
I was a member of the U.K Parrothead club. A lady from the villages posted a question on our forum, and I answered her. I was very surprised to learn that she lived here, as we had been visiting for many years!!
We were going to be in Kissimmee a few weeks later and arranged to meet up at El Santiago, where the village parrotheads used to meet.
The welcome we received when we walked in to the bar was amazing. This was 6 or 7 years ago.
This lady & her husband have introduced us to many wonderful people over the years, and last month we had a lovely evening at a house party.
All because I answered my friends question. How nice is that?
