- Warm showers! There is nothing worse than a freezing cold shower, gross!
- Feeling safe in a car- I have rafted the Nile here, bungee jumped, been 10 feet away from a king lion, and still the times I have felt the most in danger are when I am in a taxi or a boda boda (motorcycle). They are psycho.
- Privacy- I would love a moment to myself, with nobody else around. Just 10 minutes would be fine.
- High Speed Internet that is reliable. It will be nice to come home and post all the great pictures I have! Yeah!
- A washer and dryer- buckets of water and soap are okay but it takes forever and line drying leaves everything stretched out and wrinkled.
- A garbage system- We take the garbage can and garbage day system for granted in American. There is garbage everywhere and they just through it in the streets or in piles to burn.
- My Mom and Dad (and my other family members)- DJ and Katie are here but I just need a good momma chat and Slim laughing time.
- Cell phones that work and are reliable. You never know what will happen with ours, how much air time you'll need, or when the call will get dropped.
- Routine- Having a routine to life is really nice and things here are pretty random and you never know what's gonna happen. I love adventure but sometimes it is nice to know what is coming next.
- Food- So many foods I can't wait to have at home. First on the list: Chips, salsa, and guacamole. mmmm, I'm drooling.

Wow, I just want to say that I really think waht you did is amazing! I will be honest and admit that I would probably be scared out of my mind and not have the guts to do something like this. I can only imagine what an experience this was for you and I am seriously proud of you for going, because like I said I am such a chicken!
You're great! I hope you're adjusting okay to being home. It sounds like you've had some great adventures. We'd love to see you some time.
