Ah, jeeze Roz,
Being away from home is terrible.
I spent a year in Japan and couldn't wait to get home.
Even now, I have spent 22 years away from home, visited a few times but, it is 1260 miles away. I live in Minnesota, home is in New Jersey. I'm land locked here, no oceans, no cheese steak sandwiches, no hoagies, no tastykake,
no pretzels, no water ice, it is just a lot of hotdish and nasy lutefisk.
I know how you feel.
