A SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE

Amanda Weise, 41, rekindled an old holiday romance

My younger sister rolled her eyes as the two boys quickly caught up, standing behind us in the queue for the water flume. It was October 1998, and aged 17, I was on a family holiday to Walt Disney World Resort, Florida. I'd caught the attention of a gorgeous, tall American, with his younger brother, who'd been following us from ride to ride all day.

'Where are you staying?" he blushed, while I grabbed my towel from the lockers.

He told me his name was Kevin, he was 18, from Colorado, on holiday with his family too. 'Maybe see you again, I giggled, handing him a note with my hotel on it.

That night, the telephone in our hotel room rang. As soon as I heard Kevin's American accent, my heart thumped hard in my chest. We made plans to meet up a few days later, at a nearby theme park.

A MEMORABLE DATE
