Nate is a superb traveler!
I have traveled with a 2 yr old and a 5 yr old before.....but not with anyone as young as nate! No wonder he wowed many locals. Nice blog, and nice references. I can use this next visit I make to Japan. I have only been to Tokyo, and been planning on the other areas like Kyoto. I, too, was wary of the strong yen!

Glad to hear you had a great time here :-) Sounds as though you made good use of the time. I get to see my sister/brother-in-law/ 7 month old niece (coming from the UK) at the weekend - can't wait!

quite happy to be idiots... :)
me, bec, wotto and sammie are going on a trip inland/coast of australia, well actualy its just a pipe dream , BUT, the cool thing about our trip idea is that we are going "unplanned" and our only true trust is our petrole station markouts on the map and petrole money.... we wont even use the map unless we want to.... witch we wont... Same as in the young days so where just going to drive off to some random place in the sunset and see what happens and get bored and then keep going elsewhere untill oneday we wanna head home.... we did this as kids after only just gettin our licences, we are outbackins, we know our limmits so safety aint a prob bob... but its gonnna happen, i can feel it... the reason its a pipe drem is because now where like 21 ish so we have stuff going on..... commitments and other stuff, but i just want to say, Fuck yeah! no showers and a bunch of servo food with nowhere to crap.. lol, life dont get much better! FUCK THE RATRACE GUYS, ITS A WASTE OF MOMENTS............. go on, do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yay for Sea slugs
Just wanted to say that it's great to hear more about your adventures. It sounds like it's been great. I'm in Amsterdam - first getaway in ages. Keep having fun and I'll keep reading about it and daydreaming while in the classroom...

Good Question!!!
That's what everyone wants to know... how do you keep clean? I'd like to say we're hardcore and didn't wash, but hey that's not the case.... It's amazing where you can find showers, and you do get stared at when you're at the beach in the rinse off showers with shampoo and soap! :) We were also lucky enough to have a power shower (cigarette lighter) in the van, though we had to be really careful with water usage, in the outback you choose life over being clean!!! :) Good Times!!!!
