Our names are Lori & Hans,we live in Canada, most southern part of Canada, just outside of the City Windsor ,in the province of Ontario.
Lori & I love to travel . When I found VT, I got very excited .I now can do what I have wanted to do for so long ,sharing our experiences with other people , and to communicate with other travellers.
The picture taken of the two of us is made in front of the '' Detroit River from the Canadian side.
The Detroit river divides our two great countries, Canada & USA.
I was born in the City '' Delft '' a very nice old City in the Netherlands ,this City located between the Cities The Hague and Rotterdam.
At age 16 I went to a school for boys and we were trained for 2 years for the Kustvaart ,(Merchant Marine),after that I worked on Dutch Ships for 5 years.
Then I went to Spain and lived in Spain '' Alicante '' for one year.
In 1968 I went back home to the Netherlands and got Drafted in the Dutch Army.
In June 1970 at age 25 I emigrated to Canada an arrived in ''Windsor Ontario Canada .In October 1970 I joined a '' Singles Bowling League ''.
I met Lori in this League and at Christmas 1970 I found the nerves and asked Lori for a Date and we dated and Labour Day weekend 1971 we got engaged in '' Holland
Michigan USA .''
We got married Dec 18 1971 .
We have two children ,Nicole & Brian ,they are all grown up and live their own life's.

| | THE SURPRISING LONDON UK VT MEETING JAN 2006 Yes it was a bit of a surprise to some when Hansi decided to make the trip to London from Malaga with Stace and Carmen who were so kind to let me tag along with them.
We had an awsome and fun weekend in London and I met with many new members that I did not know and I met with VT'rs that I really was looking forward to meet and I also met some VT'rs that I had met before .
I am glad that I did make the trip and I had an awsome time.
The weekend was very well organized by Jenniflower & Keida84 ,and I got to see a whole lot of London during the Tour of the Tower of London and of course during all the walking we did to restaurants and going in and out the London Tube .
And on sunday morning the boat River Tour was a wonderful way to end this great weekend .
Many thanks to Carmen & Stace who took good care of me because I was without my LoriPori and that means I would be '' Lost '' by myself .
I will try to get as many pictures of the weekend in the London Travelogues.
I REALLY LIKE TO RECOMMEND YOU VISIT THE PAGES OF KEIDA84 AND JENNIFLOWER FOR GREAT DETAILS AND PIC'S ABOUT THIS VT MEETING IN LONDON.

The Very very latest VT meeting ,a mini meeting with Lucia and her husband Dan
I have known Lucy for almost 3 years ,we met in the VT chatroom .
Lucy got married with Dan just a few weeks later then our daughter Nikki.
Lucy told me Hey Walito we are coming to see you .
Lucy calls me waalito because my name in the VT chatroom was waal so she added a Mexican twist to my name and calls me Waalito
So we met with Lucy & Dan early September and we spent some time in Windsor by the river and then went to Waalito and Lorita 's house to have a pizza ,Dan T Lucy Looove Pizza .hehe
Thank you for Visiting us Lucia & Dan .Here is a llink to Lucia 's page wher you can see the pictures of our meeting .
Lucita & waalito ,& Danito & Lorita pics
This the very latest last minute unexpected out of the blue mini VT meeting .
Martman from Toronto let me know that he planned on meeting a friend (Dora) from Chicago in Windsor Ontario .
I told Martin ,lets meet up for a few hours and we did .
We met at the Mc Donalds in Windsor near the tunnel and then we walked along rhe Detroit River .
It was fun and we hope that we will meet these wonderful two young people again (see picture of the 4 of us )
