On trips like these I wonder why I never really took the chance of living in the USA, like a lot of the Brits did successfully. Waking up to the sun every morning, how good would that be? The walk on the beach, would that ever get old? Mexican food all over the place, friendly people plenty to do, but most of all getting rid of the rain gear, the umbrellas, the Gore-Tex stuff as there is no need for it in SoCal. Would I miss not having 4 seasons? I don't think so. The mountains are only a few hours away, less than half the distance that we need to drive from The Netherlands to Austria. Next to direct family I would not miss much in The Netherlands I believe. I could do without stroopwafels and hagelslag and a frikandel speciaal (had one yesterday though). But no, I never made it that far and haven't even been close to making the move. It makes these short(er) trips special because you need to soak it all up.
