The joys of returning home

Sometimes, I think the best part of travel is the excitement of returning home.  

While I waited at baggage claim in Boston, I started thinking about things I was looking forward to:

1) Eating food that is not cooked in a pool of oil. 

2) Riding in the front seat of a car 

3) Being able to drive myself around...in an automatic car...without a map. 

4) Understanding everything that people say (even if the words are said in a Boston accent...)

5) Running outside (not on a treadmill).

6) Eating breakfast without 6 people asking if I want any coffee.  (No, I don't want coffee...I never want coffee...)

7) Seeing people who have known me for more than 2 weeks.

8) FAT FREE milk...and yogurt...and salad dressing. 

9) Bravo TV

10) Swimming in a private pool, without any old men wearing speedos (gross).  

11) Not having to mentally convert another currency to US Dollars whenever I want to buy something. 

12) Cooking for myself...with 100% certainty that my food won't contain any gross hidden ingredients like mustard, cream, mayonnaise, ketchup, etc. 

Hello, Boston!  It's great to be back!
