Just my cat. That's it.

Although when I lived in LA for a while I REALLY started to miss Baked beans and proper cheddar cheese on toast after a couple of months!

That was the first thing I had when i got home! Lol.

But the lucky charms, mountain dew, taco bell and SUNSHINE! More than makes up for that!!

[jtlover]

[Aardvarks]

Not one darned thing ;)

[udnylad]

Nothing as I have my family with me every time I go.:dance3:

[DisneyJo]

My Bed and my own pillows, oh and Cadburys chocolate, I know you can buy it there but it's not as nice :rotfl:

[orangetiggs]

my cats, they are my babies

Hi Kev

I can honestly say we never miss anything!
We are sooo busy we never have time to think about what we're missing, besides, we always feel soooooo lucky to be there!!

[Pooh's-Honey-Pot]

[kerstfan1]

all i will miss is my dog bob


joyce

[Mrs Doubtfire]

Baked beans - but not the wind :rotfl:

[tashasmum]

A decent cup of tea made with boiling water.

[TotallyAngelic]

The only thing I miss is the friends and family members I leave behind - thats about it!

[Deedee]

my cats, they are my babies

Same here i phone home a lot to see how they are, the parents too of course.

[madmumof2]

Nada!

Not even tea, as we've always taken a bag full of tea bags wth us! America is amazing but they can't make tea! lol

I've looked into moving there too, but short of meeting an American to marry or winning the lottery, I've got no chance. :( lol

[NatalieMT]

I would say my cat and my usual desktop computer. I take a laptop away with me but it just doesn't run the same!

I also obviously miss family and friends who I'm used to being around practically 24/7 in some cases.

[Bigbluebear]

Only Irn Bru!! Ive developed a bit of an addiction to it recently though, so missing it for two weeks will give my teeth a break!!! lol.

Other than that, not a thing. I'd move to the states tonight if i could.

[CustardTart]

My dogs and the Premiership... :cool2:

[jjk]

our cats and Pompey

[paulh]

[paulh]

Same here i phone home a lot to see how they are, .

go on then tell me how a cat answers the phone then:rotfl:
Me miss nothing
Paulh

[Twilight Terror]

My babies - my two cats :goodvibes Especially as they are getting on a bit now, I keep fretting they're gonna peg it while I'm away :scared1:

And a proper cup of tea and Cadbury's chocolate!

[wifey]

Aww I miss our cat too when we go on holiday:love: ... as well as decent chocolate,a proper Sunday Lunch (with yorkshires and roasties of course), sausage rolls, Cornish pasties, Wensleydale cheese, a decent cup of tea, my favourite laundry detergent, decent fish and chips (not greasy), our own clean sheets and pillow cases.

[Stitch's Greatest Fa]

By the time the end of the holiday comes I am usually sick of the food in the USA and ready for my own home cooking - spag bol in particular.

[Old Swan]

Being a bit of a news hound I do miss getting a fully picture of whats happening outside of the local areas. Rolling footage of the latest storm or car chase at 7th and Madison wears thin pretty quickly.

After a few days manage to switch off and not let it get to me. First stop on landing in the UK is always the Smiths counter for the papers though...

[Dimplenose]

From my first two visits I would have said vegetables, but there seems to be a lot more available now.

Quite honestly, I wish I could afford to stay out there long enough to miss anything.

[tttessa]

Hiya,

I mostly miss "proper" chocolate - but manage on Reeses Pieces as a compromise...

also tea, cooked vegetables that don't come on a cob or salad tray, and decent international news.

However I don't miss UK prices, impoliteness in shops or the weather.

Tessa

[edinburghlass]

Has to be chocolate, I always pack some Galaxy :rotfl:

[Shazzie B]

I have to take my tea-bags and Marmite with me. Cup of tea for early am get-ups for rope drop! Marmite when I just fancy a simple snack-I'll make a marmite sandwich! (DD the same-we both love it, boys both hate it).

[Netty]

Same here! Do miss the cats, but if we were ever to go and emigrate they would come with us :)

Claire ;)

[cherjp]

ummm let me think about that for a nanosecond... not a thing!!!!!

[Lamandpercy]

I miss malt vinegar, proper chocolate (don't buy Cadburys in USA - it says on the back in small writing made for Cadbury by Hershey :sick: ), DH misses HP and we both miss our kitty Percy. One thing I miss more than anything is Robinson's squash. I don't really like fizzy drinks and there's only so much lemonade you can drink before you have sugar overload.

[fuse04]

go on then tell me how a cat answers the phone then:rotfl:
Me miss nothing
Paulh


:lmao:

[fuse04]

Nope can't think of anything

[wayneg]

Never miss a thing when we go out there. Miss plenty when I get home, having my bed made every morning, large parking spaces, cheap petrol, eating out every meal.
If I never came back to UK I wouldn't miss a thing.

For the choc we all love http://www.ghirardelli.com/ more than UK choc anyway. Call in DTD store lots of times every trip for a free caramel square. :goodvibes

[natalielongstaff]

I just miss a proper cup of Tea :thumbsup2

[Pootle]

Call in DTD store lots of times every trip for a free caramel square. :goodvibes

Me too Wayne! Also love the raspberry squares.

I miss lots about the UK (wouldn't live anywhere else) and am always glad to get home despite managing 3 trips a year :)

Lots of cat owners on this thread, including me. The 'real' Pootle is 15 years old as is her sister Posie and now they are old 'uns, I don't like being away from them for too long :worried:

[goober069]

Im with wayne on this one, i could live there easily.:cool1:

[allenclan]

Oh yes me too,we would live in Florida tomorrow and yes we would reeeaaaalllllyyy miss gordon brown and his taxes oh and the cheap fuel!!! and all the top levels of service you get in our restaurants!! sorry but the way the UK is going i would,nt miss a thing!!
Going to CBR in Aug 08 and we can,t wait.
sorry for having a rant:thumbsup2
David & Helen..

[kevin_cambs_uk]

Some interesting replies ! and so many !

The funny thing for me is I love being there, but I hear all you say about Gordon Brown, british taxes, the weather, but I still love England, despite its many faults, and as Dorothy once said, 'Theres no place like home'.

[T16GEM]

Hmm let me think.
I mostly miss cheese, American cheese is just too rubbery. It's ok for a few weeks but by then I want some proper cheddar.

If my parents aren't with us then I miss them lots too, but usually they come with us so that's no problem!

[Lisash]

Call in DTD store lots of times every trip for a free caramel square. :goodvibes

I thought it was just my family that did that :rotfl:

I don't miss a thing about England. Like many of the others I'd be on the next plane out there if they'd let us live there ;)

[paulie_walnuts]

wakefield trinity wildcats ! :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2

[UKDEB]

I'm sure there would be things I'd pine for if I stayed there for an extended period, but I can say with absolute certainty that there is nothing I miss whilst there on holiday.

[Goofyish]

A good Indian meal :)

[DCLMan]

Add me to the "nothing" group

Snap, feel exactly the same:goodvibes

[susieh]

Got back today - missing the sunshine already!

I take tea bags with us but still miss our water - Orlando water is horrid. Bought Robinson's squash in Goodings at Crossroads this trip and it made the water drinkable (I don't like fizzy drinks and can only drink so much coffee or I spend the entire trip with headaches). We had spaghetti on toast for lunch and curry for dinner as you cant get either of those out there but I wouldnt say I miss them terribly.

[Twilight Terror]

I also miss bread, and proper bread rolls! Just not the same in America.

[PoppyAnna]

A good Indian meal :)

Agree.
Although I don't give this sort of thing a second thought when I'm on holiday (anywhere), if I were to emigrate I would miss a good Indian or Thai curry, mature cheddar and english style biscuits (after a year or two).

[susieh]

Having spent one night at home since getting back I realise that the thing I miss most is my own bed with soft sheets and a duvet instead of sheets and blankets

If I lived in America I would have to take a duvet with me!

[wilma-bride]

I wouldn't say I miss anything but I do like to get home and have a lovely roast dinner and sleep in my own bed :thumbsup2

[shughamster]

Chinese takeaway without doubt. Probably because it's not real chinese!

[TartanTigger]

I can honestly say I didnt miss anything from home when we were in DLP in June. For me, the complete change in routine, circumstances, food etc, is what being on Holiday is all about.

[Strommie]

I don't miss anything when I'm on holiday, I'm always having such a good time :goodvibes

[barry7767]

Test match cricket - missed the greatest ever ashes test in 2005!

[raph_b]

I used to live in Canada for a year and they didn't sell Fanta over there!

I used to have to get my mum to send me over a 2 litre bottle every couple of months. The postage was astronomical!

Apart from family and friends, the only other things I missed were football and chocolate. US & Canadian chocolate just isn't the same as dairy milk or cadburys.

That was after a year of living out there though, I don't think I'll be missing anything when I'm with Mickey for 2 weeks in September :)

[juliebrooks35]

I don't miss anything about the UK while I'm away but I do miss loads from the US when I'm back at home.....:)

[arieliwish]

Cadbury's, squash, and Ribena!!
My kids aren't fizzy drink fans so luckily they like water coz thats what they had to drink!!
I want to import mountain dew though!!!!

Lynn
:goodvibes

[kayleighnik]

US & Canadian chocolate just isn't the same as dairy milk or cadburys

You can get Cadbury's from one of the grocery stores...cant remember its name though >.< :thumbsup2

I miss my two border terriers and 3 cats

Havent been with DF before, so I missed him

And a proper sunday roast pork dinner with all the trimmings :cloud9:

The first trip, I missed vegetables, but there were more about last trip

And I missed fish n chips, but then we went to Epcot and that was solved :worship:

This is sad, but the BBC

Oh, and a duvet!

[Snowy-girls]

I want to import mountain dew though!!!!

We do from ebay, we love Mountain Dew(really expensive though)-they also do a berry flavour one but thats nowhere near as good as the original.x.
