Final thoughts about the UK

It has been a great trip! I can't wait to come back.  I have my list started for places to visit.

What I will miss when I go back to the states:

·      Gorgeous scenery: mountains, water, valleys, gardens, flowers

·      Seeing sheep grazing right beside the road

·      The politeness of the UK people

·      Quaint sayings

·      Tea time- I’m actually liking tea with milk

·      Cardiff shopping arcades

·      Small towns and their shops, pubs, interesting architecture

·      History everywhere you go

·      UK bacon and sausages, hula hoops snacks, Galaxy chocolates, shortbread from Scotland

·      Lynne’s cooking and sitting around the Powell’s dining room table with my Welsh family & my Iowa family (next time I want all my boys here)

·      Having tea in the conservatory

·      Going to Mark & Spencer’s shopping

·      Going to Nano’s restaurant for chicken

·      Dave’s humor

What I won’t miss when I go back to the states:

·      UK money (although I almost have it figured out)

·      UK plumbing and electrical in hotels

·      UK TV channels in hotels

·      Taking loads of pictures and then having to download and label them

·      Time change/difference (hard to communicate back home)

·      Driving on the left side of the road

·      Roundabouts

·      UK public transportation

·      A full Scottish breakfast

·      All the rain

·      Having to think about getting on another airplane for a long flight!
