After being on the road a little over a week now with two more weeks to go, I can say that we’re having a great time, but being constantly on the move can be exhausting! Three weeks away from home is a long time, and no matter how amazing the sights and cities are where we’re traveling, sometimes there’s just no replacement for some of the comforts of home.
The things I miss the most:
- The dogs
- My pillow
- Our washer & dryer
- Having a kitchen to cook in
- Conditioner being readily available for my hair
- An iron for our clothes
Surprisingly, the hotels that we’ve been in don’t have irons available like every hotel in the States does. Hair conditioner is also non-existant, so it’s good that I brought a little bit with me, though definitely not three weeks’ worth! Laundromats don’t seem to exist here either, and hotel laundry services are ridiculously expensive. I just want fresh & clean clothes, people!!
Also, apparently while we’ve been gone, Wrigley ate a ton of jalapeno peppers from the garden and wasn’t feeling well. It’s hard to be away from the pups, especially since poor Wriggles was in a lot of discomfort. He seems to be better now though, so we’re glad about that! Hopefully he’ll keep his nosey nose out of the peppers from now on.
What do you miss most when you travel?
