If I came home, I'd miss the Indian men using the street as the toilet. I'd miss chai. I'd miss every day being different than the last. I'd miss everyone not knowing my name. I'd miss the sunshine. I'd miss not understanding a word of any local conversation. I'd miss doing my laundry in the shower. I'd miss waking up and not knowing what to do. I'd miss writing a travel blog! I'll let you know how Sri Lanka is, it sounds amazing so I'm getting my hopes up really high! @ Uncle Eph: We had charades, scrabble, 9-Card brag, Balderdash... even a Christmas stocking! You name it, Mum had it covered and then some! All the best to you and yours for 2008, Eph :) @ Stacy: Right! If I came home, I’d miss the Indian men using the street as the toilet. I’d miss chai.

Anyway sunshine, carry on with your nomadic wanderings and we all wish you well for the New Year etc. Enjoy Uncle Eph Ant,

Hope to hear lots of good stories. (Hopefully?) I'm going to be there for 4 weeks in August. And trust me... you're not the only one who has changed minds several times when deciding where and what to do. It's also good to know that it's okay to miss things from back home and that it's inevitable. And just because someone might miss things while on the road does not mean they want to come home. Right?
