Hello..!
 
I’ve been poking about on the net trying to find any real live Irish organisations/expats here in Central Florida and ended up here lol? Anyway I just wanted to drop in say hello! I’m originally from Ireland been living here in Florida not too far outside Orlando for the past number of years. Trying to get out, explore the area a bit more as I’ve not been in Orlando as much as I could have.

I've noticed I'm not alone in this part of the world. Seen/heard a few Brits about but seems we're (the Irish) are kinda thin on the ground in this part of the world?:lol:

Not close to you (I'm up here in the Pac NW), but welcome anyway. Florida has one of the highest (if not the highest) number of expat Brits in the US (Ray, who is in Fla) will be along to confirm or humiliate me soon...

Hello and welcome.

Nettlebed's correct now it's known you're from the Orlando area you'll probably come in for a bit of ribbing. Take no notice...it's just our British sense of humour.

Oh...Ray...he's just a soft hearted old geezer with a bark worse than his bite. ;)

Welcome to BE :)

Might want to search through meetup.com and see if there's a group in your neck of the woods?
