MY USA TRIP
This is me on the right and my friend
Joan who went with me to the States
to share in my American dream
to meet my internet friends and see America
We departed from Gatwick Airport
in London, and arrived at Atlanta Airport
to change planes for Cincinnati
It was there that we met Don and his sister
I have been chatting to him for 2 and a half
years on the internet
When we met, it was like we were old friends!
Monica and Don

They drove us into Ohio State, we had a meal on the way
then proceeded to our B&B
in "Spring Valley" Ohio where Don lives.
There started our adventure!
We had lots planned to do, like three Festivals
and to meet some of the ladies of my Internet Group
"Women with a Unique Soul"
After resting up to get over our jet lag
we were off to meet the ladies on the following Saturday
Arriving at Kitkat's house Nr Dayton Airport
We were met by Peaches, Kit, Rita, and Dianna!
and their hubby's.
What a welcome they gave us!!!
We were presented with souvenirs of all
the States they came from
like West Virginia,Oklahoma, Ohio, and Mitchigan.
cooked us a true American meal
Then they took us for the "Walmart Experience" lol
