What we look forward to back stateside...

While we've really enjoyed this trip, just today at breakfast we allowed ourselves the chance to reflect on what we're excited about returning to:

10. Karate class (that's really just from Michelle; Todd has appreciated this trip because it provides a ironclad excuse for not going to the gym)
9. Reliable drinking water and ice cubes in restaurants
8. Consistently fast internet connections
7. When we're ill, we're ill in familiar surroundings!
6. Mexican food!!!!
5. Sullen, inattentive sales clerks in stores who don't hassle us to buy and prices that are non-negotiable (no more dividing by 16,000!!!)
4. Mostly reliable public restrooms and sinks with soap
3. Our own shower with consistent water pressure and hot water
2. Cooler weather (yeah, feel free to remind us of that one when we complain it's too cold or rainy!!)
1. Seeing friends and family
