One chapter ends, another begins

Tomorrow will be day number 7 that I've been back in the good ole' USA. Coming from an island with one road, gorgeous weather, and simplicity of life... I've been in a bit of culture shock. I know I've been officially reintegrated into Western civilization since:
  • I got my hair cut and styled. At a real salon. With real salon chairs and equipment.
  • I paid $60 bucks at the movies for tickets and over priced popcorn/drinks.
  • I went to a nail salon and they had more than one salon chair and clean tools.
  • I've been able to drink real whole vitamin D milk every single day. HEAVEN!
  • I've stuffed my face at a different restaurant every day and am still so happy about FREE refills on soft drinks. It's kind of a big deal- trust me.
  • My Droid has been ringing off the hook with calls and texts from friends. And, my nose has been in that and my laptop non-stop.
I miss the heck out of Dominica and my friends. But those friends have become my family and I know I'll see them again. Until then, I'm going to continue indulging. Cheers, friends.


P.S. I still have a lot of stories from Dominica to share and some updates about the future to come!
