On the twentieth, I will be taking off out of Charles de Gaulle airport bound for San Francisco. I cannot wait! Here are some things that I am looking forward to in no particular order:
- Half and half, without which I haven't had a decent cup of tea in two months.
- My pets who I miss dearly. Every time I see a dog on the streets of Paris it takes all of my willpower not to rush it, and there are a LOT of dogs here.
- Being able to converse with shopkeepers and cashiers. I look forward to the days when I can answer simple questions without being looked at like I am "special."
- Coffee shops and the ability to get a latte to go.
- Being able to eavesdrop without racking my brain for the necessary vocabulary.
- Being able to hang out with my friends and family, let alone call them without taking international time zones into consideration.
- Not living out of a suitcase, albeit a very large suitcase.
- Peanut butter, which is obscenely expensive here.
- My car, because in terms of convenience a car cannot be beat, especially for transporting heavy objects.
- My usb cable for my camera, which I accidentally left behind.
