TammyinTN Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I haven't been in the states in 6.5 years. It really feels like forever. I'm excited and a little nervous. Just had to tell someone. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NanceXToo Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Hooray! Welcome back! (Almost)! It must feel so exciting and odd all at the same time! What are you most looking forward to upon your return to the U.S., and what will you miss the most when you leave Germany? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you most looking forward to upon your return to the U.S., and what will you miss the most when you leave Germany? I can't wait to see the beautiful flag of our country and fly it proudly at my door. I've missed doing that. What I'll miss from Germany...my great German friends, the lovely wines and cheese and the view from my porch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dayle in Guatemala Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I can't wait to see the beautiful flag of our country and fly it proudly at my door. I've missed doing that. What I'll miss from Germany...my great German friends, the lovely wines and cheese and the view from my porch. It's been over 2 years since we've been back and we've been in Guatemala now for 6 years. When we flew into the Chicago airport and I saw "Welcome to the United States of America" I literally cried. I love our country! Be prepared for some major culture shock though. It's hard on our family when we go to places in the US to shop (and we have Wal-Mart and beautiful malls in the City here) and see the excessive amounts of stuff. It gets a tad overwhelming. Are you going back to Germany? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I can't wait to see the beautiful flag of our country and fly it proudly at my door. I've missed doing that. What I'll miss from Germany...my great German friends, the lovely wines and cheese and the view from my porch. You will also miss bakeries, schwimmbads, walkplatzes, restaurants, festivals, markets of all kinds and more! We miss so many things about Germany. :grouphug: Be prepared for some major culture shock though. It's hard on our family when we go to places in the US to shop (and we have Wal-Mart and beautiful malls in the City here) and see the excessive amounts of stuff. It gets a tad overwhelming. I agree. We are so spoiled for choice in the US, overwhelming is the only appropriate word. The first day we were back we went to WalMart because we were missing a kid toothbrush. The toothbrush aisle was mind-blowing. We had a serious case of sensory overload, lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucy the Valiant Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Welcome home! And if your long absence is in any way military-related, I want to say that I appreciate you and your family and your service. (And if it's not, ignore me, and welcome home!)

Pink Fairy Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I wept when I came home after 3 1/2 years. There are so many things I miss in Germany, including my bff, but there's nothing like home. :grouphug: Welcome back!!! :party: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3Blessings Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 The first time we went through customs in NYC after being here in Indonesia for a while, the guy looked at us (3 small, very tired children and 2 weary adults) and said, "Welcome home." That's when I cried. I pray that your journey is safe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
