Whenever I'm gone for an extended period, I always find the little things are what surprise me. Things like the size of the newspapers (much smaller in North America!), working with pennies again (Australia has a rounding policy so no more pennies when you pay with cash) and looking out the window at six o'clock and seeing the sun has gone down. Oh yes, and which side of the road to look when crossing the street!
The day before I left, my friend (Anne, pictured below) took me to Waterworld in Manly where they had some cool critters (of course!) Hmmm, sun and beaches... missing those for sure!
