Aside form the obvious - family, friends, kitties:
My closet!
Not just the shoes I had to leave behind, but the simple
joy in having an organized place to keep your belongings wrinkle-free.
Good Cheese
They categorize cheese here in three ways: Tasty,
Extra Tasty, and Mild.
Project Runway
This is one year without tv, what will life be
like when I get back? We’ve been watching Fuel TV at breakfast (a real “man
channel” or, dare I say, “mannel”), which I actually love, despite the ladies
in bikini’s that frequently appear in the lower right hand corner to highlight
the channel logo. It regularly features surfing, snowboarding, skateboarding
and wakeboarding from competitions to reality shows involving the sport.
Inspires us to get out and shred wave. And sometimes when I get home from work
at 3-4 in the morning, the Today show is on!
Baking cookies
No ovens in the hostels - boo!
Being able to afford chocolate (and coffee!)
Although, surprisingly, I don't miss Starbucks. The Aussies take their coffee and pastry seriously, and even at your crappy corner handimarket there's artisan baked goods and stellar cappuccino.
Snowboarding – can’t have everything I guess
Decent music at the clubs
80’s night is every night. If I hear Billy Jean one more time…
Driving, and my car!
Having two pillows
While we’re on the subject I miss my entire bed, satin sheets and all 60” of it’s
glory
Not having to worry
about poisonous snakes and bugs. Not to mention sharks and jellies.
Take this sign, for example. It's saying "We are aware that there are life-threatening snakes on these rocks, where countless tourists and children walk past and sunbathe every day, but rather than relocate the reptile, we'll just make you aware of its presence. Oh, and they're multiplying and over-protective as well so watch out."
Our fabulous Seattle
microbrews.
No offense Aussies, but your beer is weak. Chris especially misses the Jolly Roger (and every day he pines for their Lil' Royals)
