Those telltale signs you’ve been away too long:
1. 1. You’re pale
2.
Your feet are actually getting used to close-toed
shoes
3.
You plan your trips around road traffic instead
of wind patterns
4.
You are starting to take running water for
granted - hot water for dishes, tap running during teeth brushing, longer and
longer showers – shame!
5.
You start thinking it’s normal to blow dry your
hair
6.
You find yourself shopping and thinking of
buying plug-in appliances!
7.
You’re actually noticing fashion trends – that
don’t involve Crocs.
8.
You’re actually getting used to TV – with
commercials!
9.
You haven’t seen a hand tool in months
10. You
forget what it feels like to sweat
11. You’ve
migrated from rum punch to red wine as your drink of choice
12. The
regal sunset, hidden behind the highrises of the city, has faded away and no
longer plays a role in happy hour, or indeed your lives.
13. Sundowners? What?
13.5 You
(I) really miss that connection with the sunset…. sigh
Great list, reminds me that it has been too long since I have been in the Caribbean. Thanks!
