My favourite thing would be Mint Ice Cream Klondike Bars if I could eat them. Not on the restricted diet I'm on for now...but one day, oh yeah...one day

Well..
That would bring up a whole new line of Klondyke commercials then.

Still, it was nice to see green things on the land, and white fluffy things in the sky, and temps that didn't start with a '1' and go on for 2 more digits....
I love that this country is utterly big - 5 hrs to go from SW corner to NE corner, and 3 time zones to boot. Confusing in a pleasant way!
I love how Boston Logan Airport has very little in the way of food choices once through security, but somehow it doesn't matter - and that the fish & chips you can get there is nothing like the fish & chips back home - heavens forbid I have something over here that is exactly like something back home.
I love how people drive like arses everywhere I've been in the US so far - granted it's not representative etc, but it is so far promisingly consistent!
I also like how big dust storms can come out of nowhere at this time of year in Arizona - being a Brit I love to talk (if not moan) about the weather, and the relentlessly sunny & bright weather, day after day after day... was getting me down. So I was very happy when the dust storm blew through, trashed a large patio umbrella and gave my pool cleaning robot indigestion!
And whilst I do miss ol' Blighty, and the family peeps, I do like it here.

You're both wrong, of course. The best ice cream in the world is Mauds, from good old Norn Irn, as if there was any doubt.
We just do everything better there. It's like all the best bits of the UK were squeezed into six little counties. Like UK Plus if you will
