Nice happy ever after story Jake, I had forgot the Chaperone bit,  but yes my first trip out was the same in 2001.

We married in Jan 96, must get an anniversary card else I'll be dead meat. Anyway I wrote for a year then visited, married on the third visit a year later. It was not unusual for girls to be writing to more than one guy and the early bird would get the worm.
