Vacation?

We are finding out what it means to take vacation back home as an expatriate.

It turns out it is mostly chores like taking care of the medical, eye care, and dentistry that you don't take care of in China.

Then there is the maintenance updates and registration of the autos.

The house always requires something on each visit. It is uncanny that things wait for us to come home to break down and need repairing (better than the alternative while we are in China). The last time we were having a septic problem and BF was home and able to take care of it. This time we had our A/C unit go out and a new one is on order.

Lastly there is the buying of clothing and accessories that you just cannot seem get or like in China.
