Subject: Introduction - New member in Virginia
Forwarded by Moderator - Welcome, Mary Ann ======= Hello,

I am a 50 year old married lady who lives near and works in Washington, DC. My husband and I have a nice home in the Virginia suburbs. I travel to England several times a year, arriving at London Heathrow. In time I hope to take side trips to various European countries as well when I am traveling to the UK.

Although I have friends in England, I don't have any friends in the London area. This means that I usually do my sightseeing and dining in London alone. I'd love to get to know some ladies in London, as well as other parts of the UK. It would be lovely to correspond by email. If it is convenient, perhaps we can meet for lunch and conversation when I am traveling.

I would also like to learn more about travel in Europe in general and also get to know English-speaking ladies from various European countries via email exchange.

I am also interesting in reciprocating. If there are any British or other European ladies who find themselves traveling through the Washington, DC area who would like to meet an American lady for conversation, dining out, or some sightseeing, I invite you to contact me. I know what it is like to be a lady traveler in a big city where you know no one. Perhaps we can get acquainted and even becomes friends who keep in touch throughout the year.

Sincerely,

Mary Ann
