Be Happy (and have a sickbag just in case...)

I'm on the WestCoast - north of Perth by about 12 hours (if driving the speedlimit in a cramped mini coach). Internet is scarce, and USB ports don't exist... so updates on Roadtrip Part 4 and 6 are still to come as are the updates of my trip North so far. Roadtrip part 5 had the pictures uploaded, and was just awaiting my account of the altercation with the Police... that's right, got in trouble with The Law!!!

I'm in Monkey Mia (dolphins swim up to the beach) for 3 days. The beach is idyllic and I may even have achieved that elusive state called "a tan" by the time I leave here...

Just thought I'd share a soppy e-mail a friend sent me. We Permanent Travellers appear to excell in this faffy stuff... but made me smile! Read the list and if you score 0 out of 29 in the last week -- get on it!
