My vacation, which I spent half of last year looking forward to, is over. I am home now and while it is good to be home it is very sad that there is no more vacation. I will really miss beaches and swimming!

I wont miss the French as much but that is another story. Why don't the French know how to stand in line? They will ask you if you are standing in line to wait for some particular thing and when you respond "yes" they will either barge ahead of your or quietly walk to the beginning of the line and sneak into the line there.

Cultural differences are quite fascinating even though they are extremely frustrating at other times. The people on both Antigua and Guadeloupe were very polite and said hello to you in the streets. It made you feel welcome. They were however very relaxed, which could mean that you had to wait for a long time until they would serve you in restaurants.

Anyways, I am just rambling a little so that I could squeeze in that complaint about the French, trying to disguise it as a cultural observation...

No again, the vacation is over. So what to look forward to next, now that I no longer have my Caribbean vacation? I really need to find something or otherwise I will feel lost. That will have to wait for tomorrow though, as I have a mountain of clothes to wash and hundreds of photos to go through!
