First of all we 'd like to thank
Geocities 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... for that we like to use
POWWOW.
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...
