We just spent two weeks in the States. Robert had to work and I was on holiday.
I know...how could those two weeks be any different than any two weeks here? I didn't have to cook and clean. :)
Anyway, this was the first time back "home" on U.S. soil in a year. I couldn't wait to see family and friends and have some of the foods we can't find here. Once again, first restaurant we hit after getting off the plane was a Mexican restaurant. YUM!
The best part of the trip though was seeing family. We were lucky and were able to squeeze in a lovely dinner with my brother and sister-in-law. I also spent two days with my sister, brother-in-law, niece and great nephew. They dropped everything, took vacation, worked overtime, worked weekends, etc. in order to be able to spend time with me. I can not thank my family enough nor explain in words how much it meant to me or how much I enjoyed spending time with them.
As for "home", home is where my bed is. While we saw lots of friends and had a good time, this was like every other holiday I have ever taken and I was glad to come back to my house when the time was up.
As for the food...it was OK. I guess I have gotten used to our diet in Australia. And apparently the excitement of traveling internationally has now worn off...about 4 hours into the flight, I was ready to get off of the plane. :P
Finally...the Houston humidity and heat...Y'all can keep it!
