I had no idea caramilk bars were Canadian...
Just think of all the fun things you'll get to have in the States... like Obama for president and Target and Bath and Body Works and... I'm out of ideas. At least no winter!
I will miss YOU! I know we didn't get to really know each other that well, and that's too bad. I should have made more effort. I WILL look forward to continued blog posts. Will you have internet access out there? Admittedly, I am totally jealous about the no winter thing. I can send you some of the items you listed if you are ever hankering for them.
No caramilk bars??? That is pure tragedy. You're going to have to bring over a stockpile!
You will be missed!
Yes...I would bring ketchup over too. There is nothing like heinz ketchup. really. I can't eat anything but!
Oooh ketchup chips too! Those are Canadian.
Wow, you're still in Canada and already anticipating what you'll miss?! Just for the record, they do have Heinz ketchup down here, it's just a different recipe so don't be fooled. Aero and Coffee Crisp are also Canadian chocolate bars. Instead of French on cereal boxes, you'll probably see a lot of Spanish which opens up a whole new world! Lets see...what else...I think part of the fun of moving is discovering what's different and what you miss, even the most surprising things. It really helps you to see what you take forgranted. But it's also exciting to learn of all the new stuff available to you!
You'll miss smarties too! They call Rocket candies smarties.
#7 on the list..... 10 hrs = approx. $6,000 in ER cost for me. Yup, good private health insurance would be an idea to have.
