Yes, the restaurants were great, really superior, but I can make do with what we have here to live in this beautiful weather. I stepped out of Orlando Airport and felt 10 years younger just to see flowers, the sun and everywhere clean. We were too tired to do anything much last night so we went up to Glenview, had a really good burger with toasted bun and came home by golf cart and crashed. Yes, it's great to be home.
You're not alone. I'm in Boulder right now with the extended family and originally from a suburb of NY.
TV is much better.
I haven't gone to the bagel place but I will. Bagels freeze so I'll buy a bunch. Fresh Market handles my NY/NJ bread fix.
I cook better then most restaurants. So I would rather have friends over and share a meal then go anywhere else.
I do miss my family. There are no substitutes for them.
