But, like you said Satish, arm-chair travel is just as good - and we can do it with our kids!

But those were the days sans kids :) Can'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'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. :-)Praba Ramhttps://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!!!
