#7 Hummus, Punjabi samosas and shwarma no longer sound that yummy
#6 Munchkins' lessons are just about finished for the quarter
#5 Your java chip frappachino from Starbucks is liquid goo by the time you walk from the Starbucks to your vehicle of choice.
#4 Jimmy Buffet's "Cheeseburger in Paradise" makes you think of how desperately you need a REAL bacon cheeseburger with a bucket of unsweetened BREWED iced tea (not Lipton from a can!) {My father even told the 'owner' of the most amazing fast-food bacon cheeseburger place in the homecountry just how crazed we were about these burgers! This is stop #1 as soon as we get off the plane!}

Peace. The countdown to the home country has begun!!!!!
