I know that one... I don't think I've slept in the last 11 months since our son arrived. I was away on business Friday and Saturday... it was sooooo nice to get some sleep. It used to be that I didn't sleep well in hotel beds... if Friday night was anything to go by I'm looking forward to my next trip in a few weeks.
Anyway - I guess I liked how your husband was driving then.

It can be tough. When first arrived here the first thing I realized was that Brits spoke way faster than Americans... I would say something and see a blank expression on the face of the person I was talking to and I'd have to repeat my comments again speaking more slowly and clearly.... hence the reason why my accent and intonation has changed in the time I've been here. Thankfully I was young enough to adapt pretty well... two countries separated by a common language. I dread to think about the portugese language/cultural barriers.
