However, better late than never!<BR/><BR/>My hearty congratulations to you and your lovely lady, and thank you very much for being around always, to share and to enjoy this spirit of friendship. <BR/><BR/>New York is a wonderful choice Gil. It is one of my favourite cities in the world, and I fondly remember spending hours celebrating on the near freezing streets at Times Square for the crystal ball drop to welcome the New Year!<BR/><BR/>All the very best always Gil and cheers.:)indicaspecieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04082836899942612554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14878297.post-54985834305672803062008-08-14T05:52:00.000+01:002008-08-14T05:52:00.000+01:00Love the great photos.Happy 33rd year wedding anni...Love the great photos.<BR/><BR/>Happy 33rd year wedding anniversary!
