So I just purchased my ticket to go to Brazil next month. I'll be there for almost 2 weeks, and I'm coming back on Dec 25th, which is kinda of a weird date to leave but coming back anytime after that would cost me at least $400 more.
I absolutely hate the actual 'flying' home. Those almost 24 hours in between airports is totally a pain in my ass, but I can't wait to go home and see my family, my old friends, the house, the dog, and everything I miss. So I decided to make a list of random things I'm anxious to enjoy as soon as I get there:
1. Having 5 o'clock cofee breaks with my mom. Fresh coffee, french bread right out of the oven, with butter. One of my favorite things to do in the world.
2. Hot, hot, sticky weather.
3. Afternoons watching good cable TV and old soap operas.
4. Eating decent food on a regular basis. Hopefully losing a few pounds.
5. Washing my hair with non-clorine-white-stuffy-water. One of the things I absolutely cannot get used to here is the fact that the water is so heavy and gross, consequently making my hair heavy and gross as well. I have no bad-hair days in Brazil. It's like washing your hair with spring water.
6. Seeing my grandmas! and my godson, and the rest of my family.
7. Driving good cars. (I usually leave a few tickets behind for my family, but I promise I won't do it this time. I don't do it on purpose.)
8. Buying cute shoes and big earrings.
9. Not stressing, not working and not paying for anything for 2 whole weeks!
10. Getting my hair and nails done. Believe me, it's different there.
I'm counting down the days now. 27 to go.
