Now that’s just unfair! All those flavors and no good bagels? So wrong!

Just and FYI there are numerous and I mean NUMEROUS flavors of Philadelphia Cream Cheese in the grocery store here in Germany but sadly they are lacking good bagels.

Not sure who thought polyester was a good fabric for these garments, but you’d be surprised how hard it is to find a good pair in Thailand.

Although Heather makes a good point above about delivery services. I’ve found myself missing Amazon a time or three.

S’mores on a cookie? Now that’s just wrong!

The pool issue is in Mexico. You can’t use the public pool here until you have your doctor’s clearance on file (which includes the fecal and blood tests). Obviously, the hotel pools don’t require that. Phew!

Being able to read the labels is not overrated. LOL Tex-Mex is a hard one! SO difficult to find ANYWHERE outside the US and Mexico. I’m sure getting my fill while we’re here.

I LOVE American breakfasts. I had a friend from Germany who was living in the US for awhile. His two big loves were: Big American breakfasts and Big Gulps. As much as I love French food, their breakfast is just ridiculous.

OMG! I stopped eating sausage on pizzas in SEA because of that. And their hotdogs are soft and mushy, too. Gross!

I wouldn’t mind some NYC bagels! Still need to make my way out there.

I think buying bagels is one of the first things I plan on doing! I’m more of a Scotch guy when it comes to whisky, but I don’t mind some Southern Comfort or Jack Daniels either!

I definitely do miss those nice big, fluffy towels! And bath towels that aren’t the size of a handcloth.

Beer takes on a new meaning when you can get all the great microbrews, and don’t even get me started on the bourbon (of course I brought back a few bottles to Thailand as well)!
