First of all we 'd like to thank Geocities (this site no longer exists, transferred
to Free.fr) for giving us the opportunity to create our first home page. A year
ago, we bought our first computer and never thought we would be able to create
our web page that soon.
In
fact we learned everything about computer from scratch and we've had a lot of
fun doing this page and hope that you will enjoy it a lot and come back to visit
us. 
But
before we go any further let us tell you a little about ourselves. We, Fabrice
and Corinne, were born in a region called Picardie in the
North of France 
Eversince
we met in 1982 traveling has always been part of our lives. So between vacation
travels, we moved to another region of France, South
West -close to the Spanish border- to get a little closer to the sun.
We spent 5 years in this beautiful region and eventhough we enjoyed life there,
we couldn't resist the appeal of another sunny place Florida.
We
discovered Florida in 1992 , thanks to good
American friends (Michelle & Donnie) met 10 years earlier, who invited us for
their wedding. 
Well, we always were tempted to get a valuable experience abroad, and we already
liked the country.Thanks to the support of all of Michelle's family (special thoughts
for Kim), and a lot of preparation we ended in Bradenton,
Florida (Tampa Bay) in October 1993.
When
you live in another country than yours, things are pretty difficult at the beginning.
But with our open minds and a lot of optimism we got through. We also stay active
and in touch with different French associations.
We think there are bad and good things in any country you live in, you just need
to find your own mark and pace.
Our motivation to come here is to improve our personal and professional lives,
Corinne as a medical technologist, and Fabrice as an import-export consultant.
Another good side of the USA is that it gives you the chance to meet people from
all over the world. And now thanks to the internet, we can even meet virtual friends
from anywhere at a click... We love learning and exchanging our cultural differences
with people from all around.
Hi
! I'm Enzo the "kid" or should I say the dog of the family...
I am a Bearded Collie and Corinne and Fabrice
brought me over with them to share their American adventure. 
It's really hot here, 'cause the sun always shines. But they let me stay in
the house and I really enjoy the comfy soft carpet and the air-conditionning
!!
I
have a big yard where I can run and play with my ball and sometimes I get
to swim in the Bay. I have lots of friends
in the neighborhood. There are two invisible dogs behind a fence next door
and a nice lady German shepherd on the other side. 
Hey ! I have to say, life is pretty good. Even if sometimes I miss sleeping
under the stars like I used to in Gaillac.
Well, if you want to know more about me and my kind, I think Corinne is writing
a page where you can find all that. See you there...
