NAPLES FLORIDA 1996 & 1998
| THE WEDDING | THE PARTY | HOME PAGE | UP |
The exchange 1996 came about quite strangely because we wrote to someone in Naples asking if they'd be interested but they had already agreed to swap with someone else. They said, however, that they had passed my letter to a 'trusted friend' who would likely be in touch. And they did!
We
knew Florida pretty well having toured and rented there on numerous
occasions. Once we had been to Naples, albeit briefly. We liked the
people, 
Bunny & Anne, house and locality a great deal and our exchangers
felt the same way about our house - truly a home from home for each of us.
So we readily agreed to their suggestion to exchange again two years
later. The 1996 exchange was the last organised via snail mail.
In the 1996 exchange we were visited by an old school friend, Mike Wall and his lady friend, Kate, and their children. They were staying in Orlando and when talking to them a few months before our respective coincidental trips they decided they would get married in USA. The perfect date seemed to be Friday 23rd August 1996 as that was also our own anniversary. Bunny found out what was involved and arrangements were made. The 'reception' was effectively a pool party!

Here are the other pictures. Thank you Bunny & Anne for these exchanges and for keeping in touch since.

of us the night before we returned home. At that time we didn't know
we'd return again
This
might have been the start of Abi's now famous, still performed, Rozzi face.
