While he's studying, I've had time to think about the differences between the Bahamas and home. I thought I'd share with you some of the things I miss, and on the flipside, what I'm enjoying about the Bahamas!
Home Sweet Home
- Obviously, family first! This includes my sweet Emmy Dog.
- And of course our friends.
- Decently priced groceries. A sale of $14 for a family-sized box of cereal. No thanks.
- On that note, being able to go to the grocery and KNOW they will have milk, bread, etc. that isn't expired.
- Central air conditioning.
- My good ole 260 phone number.
- My car. Oh to be able to get up and leave whenever I want..
- Target.
- My co-workers. Technology is great, but Skype can only do so much.
- Not having to coat myself in sunscreen whenever I go outside.
- Not sweating. And with that includes not needing to shower nearly three times a day.
- My kitchen amenities. Try cooking something in the oven and then realizing you don't have hot pads.
- Being able to walk somewhere and not be offered drugs.
- The concept of time - being 'on time' specifically.
- A good fountain Dt. Coke.
- Fast internet. And wifi - everywhere.
- Not having to carry our groceries home from the store.
- American food.
- 60% humidity or less.
- Hot water all the time.
- Not having to drink 387 gallons of water every day to feel hydrated.
- Pandora.
Yay Bahamas
- The scenery. B-e-a-utiful beaches.
- Our new friends!
- The locals. Friendly, friendly people.
- Even with no vehicle, transportation is easier than I anticipated.
- No traffic jams or rush hour.
- Coke Zero. I don't know what it is exactly that makes it better. But it is delicious. And as Landon would say - I know my 'licious.
- Sea creatures.
- Less ragweed = less allergies.
- $7 movie theater tickets. Jackpot.
- The culture.
- KFC Delivery. I haven't tried this yet. But that's pretty awesome.
- The eclectic nature of the people. You can do a LOT of fun people watching down here.
- Lizards, salamanders or Gecko's or whatever they are. Yes - this is the right list. They are fun to watch!
- Trying all of the fish!
- Treasure hunting.
So there you have it. And yes, the list on what I miss is longer. It's only been a couple of weeks. I'm sure the second list will grow with time. Hopefully anyway.
