My road-trip days met with sudden death when we welcomed Ana... But, like you said Satish, arm-chair travel is just as good - and we can do it with our kids!

Brings back memories of our drive cross-country for 9 nights - from Massachusetts to California via 15 states in midwinter. But those were the days sans kids :) Can&#39;t even dream of one like that now, not knowing where we will eat, with restrooms 70 miles aways and walk-ins into motels! We often talk about this to our daughter. But months on the road might be even more amusing to children!

I was tempted to get it from the library. However, given the three yr old&#39;s love for animals, decided to do the ones I did. :-) Nice that you got to review. <br /><br />Check this other Australian book by Nadia Wheatley - My place, http://www.amazon.com/My-Place-Nadia-Wheatley/dp/0916291545 we got to read during CROCUS. More for older kids and K liked it a little bit. Historical fiction about the same place viewed by different generations going back from 1988 to 1788...An interesting way to present history, I thought. I sat glued to it for a good 15 mins. :-)Prabahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12124515962155387444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27389926.post-63026414478986068392009-12-14T04:12:17.738-08:002009-12-14T04:12:17.738-08:00Oh wow!!!

They RV around europe and camp at different places. living their dream.Kodi's Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03887052887207435095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27389926.post-72346523533210079762009-12-13T20:44:38.403-08:002009-12-13T20:44:38.403-08:00choxbox, Hippocampus has a copy.sathishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07061644730228380194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27389926.post-60864448591572460282009-12-13T20:35:20.441-08:002009-12-13T20:35:20.441-08:00Please tell me where to get it! <br /><br />And now I feel worse about not being around for that workshop on creative writing by Alison Lester :( :)ChoxBoxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03741540918529448553noreply@blogger.com
