What I will miss in Grenada: No car. I love not having a car. I don't have to worry about driving, other drivers, oil changes, flat tires, major and minor repairs, insurance, inspections and the hundred other things that come up when you have a car. In my opinion the buses here work wonderfully, and we're in a location which makes it easy for us to always catch one going any direction. For more on the buses click here.
What I will like about America: Less advice from strangers. I appreciate that so many people are concerned for the welfare of my children, but it will be nice not to get quite so much advice. Random people throughout my day will let me know how my kids' hair should be done, tell me to hold Esther's hand, tell me not to carry William on my hip so his feet don't turn out, or to get the kids out of the trickle of rain before they get sick. The most common is, "Get the babies out of the sun!" when I'm waiting at a bus stop. If there was shade nearby I would gladly comply. I'd like to get the mommy out of the sun too.

I seriously love this idea Bettina! I think I'll probably copy you when we leave the island ... next year! I look forward to what you will say each day!
