What do I miss from the US? Hummmmm....Let me think...It will come to me....AH! Jack in the Box tacos! Two for 99 cents. Let's see...Traffic?..no...The pace?....no....My family? No, they are here....I've got it! Beautiful Walmart! What a gem she is. Good quality and one stop. What luxury. One would look very nice on Middle street right across from Rocks!

LOL...I agree Dave!
I tried to get one put in while I was there...but nobody would cooperate!...GRRRR

I'm just north of Chattanooga Ibanole.

Where's my dive gear????!!!!!.....LOL
Maybe I'll join a bowling league again..hmmm?

Cheers!

I have not lived on AC but I have spent several years overseas. There were things I missed.

Beef. Big thick red slabs of Oklahoma beef. I miss that anytime I'm away. Except in Argentina.

My family. They are the only reason I"m still here.

Space. Big houses, big yards, big cars. I own a ranch. I like the space.

Shopping. Real shopping. Big mall shopping. "Honey I just paid off the VISA" shopping.

American hospitals. They really are the best in the world.

Florian!...you...a shopper?....a MALL shopper no less!.....I would have never guessed!
Bet you got a big truck too huh?.....LOL

Hey - if you miss Walmart in AC, go to a Walmart at 2 pm on a Saturday, and you'll wish you were in AC!

After staying only two weeks, when we got to Houston International we each got our favorite Taco Bell AND a Wendy's classic!!

But, oh, those stars!!! Every night we were there, we stargazed! Here in the states you can't see hardly anything, but in Belize the stars are wonderful!

No matter where you are, the grass is always greener on the other side!

Darlin', I can shop with the best of them. Great big expensive malls are my fav. I'm kinda a clothes horse for a guy.

Just don't take me to a big hardware store. I'm like that guy on the electronics store commercial that's running on tv. I can entertain myself a while. I like building things, usually have something going. I've build two houses from exavating the foundation with a shovel and a matlock up.

I guess I'm real lucky. I have my own place, it's a few miles from the nearest town, and I can't really see off of my place from my house.

I keep it dark outside at night here. I can see the stars better here then from San Pedro. A lot better. Better then almost anywhere else I've ever been. Ok, not as good as the desert east of Perth, but still better then most places.

I spend many an evening on the front porch, which I built special for stargazing.

Pick-up? I sold the pick-up last month and bought a Jeep,

Please keep in mind I'm thinking of things I miss when I'm away from the US. I'm about to wander over to another thead and speak of what I miss about AC, and other places, when I'm home. I mean .... the stars are real special from San Pedro for a few reasons. No doubt. But I'm lucky, and they're special from my place too.

My wonderfully tolerant friends.

I never shop at Walmart at 2pm....you have to go at 2AM...then you have the whole store to yourself!....LOL

Sounds nice Florian!

Women, as I remember them, wore high heal shoes (something that doesn't work well in sand),nylon hose and short skirts . Women in San Pedro eat a lot of lard filled tortilas,
smell like fish and are barefoot.

LOL.....ELBERT!...you eat the fish...you don't wear it!

Perfume is a luxury there though...damnned expensive! Luckily...I ran out right about the time I left...

Este Lauder....here I come!!!....LOL

Barefoot works for me.....and I miss it now!
After two yrs. of bare feet....I now wear a WIDE shoe....LOL Try finding a size 10 wide....grrrrrr....LOL
This is the first real cool morning we've had....about 56 degrees outside right now. Won't be long before it will be bitter cold and then the boots come out. *UGH*

By the way....I never touch lard...LOL...bad for your arteries!
