I miss my yearly vists to Chino absolutely fabulous place to visit and the staff are so very friendly and knowledgable.

That is yanks and planes of fame as people only go to one and forget there is another down the road sort of like Coventry but warmer.

Vineland and Newfoundland are a long way away from California (where I understand Chino to be) which wasn’t even an American territory when the arrival of the French Navy forced the British to leave our American colonies.;)

The first person on the mainland from Europe was an Italian with the Englicised name of John Cabot, who went over from Bristol, I believe-but there is some debate anout whether the Vikings got there first PS , would LOVE to get to Chino one day

Chino – Former colonies? Shouldn’t you be addressing this question to a Spanish Forum rather than a British (English speaking) one.
Or Have I got my American history / geography wrong?
