Although I love living in Italy, there are a few things I miss about you.
How I miss your closets, your abundant storage spaces and built in shelves.
I miss the convenience of fast-food restaurants, especially the ever-tasty Taco Bueno. How I would love a beef combo platter right about now.
I miss Target and yes, even Wal-Mart. I never knew I could actually miss Wal-Mart.
I miss getting gas without having to use gas coupons and I miss my money not going constantly up and down in the exchange system.
I miss Chilis and their amazing mushroom jack fajitas (although I hear in Germany they have a Chilis on an AFB)
Before I return to your loveliness, could you please make a few things readily available for me?
These would include, cheap, delicious, loose wine, amazing pasta, Froop and the Greek yogurt I love so much and all the freakin amazing cheeses I have eaten since I've been here. If you could toss in a few cool places like Paris and Venice that wold be cool with me too.
Sincerely,
Melissa a U.S. Citizen
you can come visit me in germany and i'll take you to chilis. please come visit, this summer maybe, after school is out! and then i can come visit you in the fall and partake in your cheap wines. sounds like a good date to me.
ReplyDeleteAmen! I am going to miss being able to go to the amazing street markets and buy such fresh and delish produce and well, anything else I want!!
ReplyDeleteHaha I like how you actually miss Walmart, I'm a Target lover too.
ReplyDeleteI do know what you mean! We lived in Iceland on a navy base a few years ago. What a WONDERFUL experience full of memories that I will never forget... and yet so easy to miss the conveniences of home.
ReplyDeleteAviano AFB has a Cinnabon. We had one here up until August, right before the guys came home. I miss my Saturday morning Cappuccino Blast. Oh, sweet nectar!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm so envious of you and Honey getting together! How I wish I could come join you two. I'm working on a surprise package for you ;)
ReplyDeleteHugs!!!!!

oooh I bet the cheeses are sooo good!!
ReplyDeleteI miss LOTS of things about Canada and I live in the US. I WISH I could live in Italy, I can not even imagine the pictures you can take
ReplyDeleteOh man...I'd miss Target too, but I dunno, loose wine sounds pretty amazing!!
ReplyDeleteAh, I love me some fajitas. Matt and I are big fans of Chilis and Outback. :)
ReplyDeleteI'd trade all of that for some gelato. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteOh, I'd die for some good cheese right now. Esp. ITALIAN cheese... Yummo!
ReplyDeleteI have to tell you, my hubs has Italy into the "shore duty mix" several times now, it makes me a little nervous, I don't know if I could do it.
But then I read your blog, and it sounds so exciting :)
Come visit and we will go to Chilis :)
ReplyDeleteI'm totally with you on everything else.
Amen! I miss all of these things! Target especially! I would go to target at least three times a week!
ReplyDeleteYup, I'll go to Chili's with you and Casey and Honey :) (although I will say, when I move back to the states I will probably NEVER eat at Chili's again....)
ReplyDeleteTOTALLY with you on the other stuff. Especially closets. How I miss closets...*sigh*
And pay-at-the-pump gas stations. UGH. I hate how it takes like 20 minutes to get gas on base...ARGH!
Yeah, I'm ready to go back...three years is good enough for me :) hehe
