Things I'll Miss

A friend recently asked what it is that I’ll miss while traveling. At the time I did not really know and had not really given it much thought. There are the givens, I’ll miss family and friends but I can still talk to them via e-mail and Skype as long as I can figure out how to dial from abroad. But as far as other stuff, I had not really considered it.

Then as I wondered through the grocery store today it hit me that I’ll miss yogurt. I eat a lot, at least one a day, and it usually is one of the must grab things. Not having it on a regular basis is going to suck. As for other foods, there isn’t anything else I think I will miss that badly but that may change by the time I get back.

As for Chicago, on this nicest day of the year so far, I’ll miss summer in the city, mostly riding my bike on the lakefront and driving down Lake Shore Drive. I will not miss the DIVVY bikes however. And hopefully by the time I get back the construction along the lakefront will also be mostly complete, I will not miss that either.
