Disney parks - memories and dreams

When I was 12 I was very fortunate to go on a truly memorable, once in a lifetime family holiday to Orlando, Florida in USA. During our stay in Orlando we enjoyed a couple of magical days at Walt Disney World Resort Florida. When we visited the magical resort it was celebrating its 25th Anniversary.

As it was such a memorable and amazing holiday - even to this day I vividly remember the park and meeting Mickey Mouse! - I would love to take my boys on a similar holiday.

New York City holiday hopes

Over 100 years ago my ancestor packed his bags and set sail across the sea to start life in a new country. Leaving his home in Wales he settled and started a new adventure in the Big Apple in the USA.

Living and working in New York he soon made a new life for himself and met a woman who he courted and then married. After marrying his beloved they soon had a family, with their children going on to have children of their own and so forth until today where there is a long line of his descendents living in various areas of America. His descendants are our distant relatives.

About 15 years ago whilst doing family tree research I found all of this out and made contact with a number of our relatives living across the pond. Since then we have stayed in contact, speaking regularly thanks to the wonder of the world wide web. The relatives we are closest to who still live in New York have also visited us twice whilst holidaying in the UK.
