Name:

Maria

Best Friend's Name:

Liz

How long have you known your best friend and how did you meet?:

I've known my best friend, Liz, for over 10 years while our daughter's were in school - our daughter's, Jaclyn and Caitlin, met while in 2nd grade and they are now juniors in high school.

What is your favorite thing about your best friend?:

My favorite thing about my best friend is that when we see each other we always have a good time and the fact that she loves to travel as much as I do.

What's your most treasured memory together?:

Our most treasured memory together, I would say, is probably our first vacation with our families - we went on a cruise to the Caribbean. It was the first time that the families spent that much time together in one location and we really got to know everyone well.

Any embarrassing or funny memories you'd like to share?:

Just that we'd go shopping and come home and hide the merchandise - needless to say we used to shop a lot. The other is when we did go shopping and dinner was the furthest thing from our minds' we would stop at the supermarket and Liz would pick up a pre-cooked chicken and make it look like it was all her good home cooking that she had prepared and slaved over.

What do you plan on doing with the money if you win big on Wheel?:

I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the money as of yet - I do have a son in college (Antonio - 19) and a daughter (Jaclyn - 16) who will be needing a car so that's definitely a start - otherwise travel is always a good way to spend money.
