Good to know about the whirlpool tub because I would have done the exact same thing!!!

Hi Clarity, been reading your entries at work so haven't been able to comment until now. Daniel and I did the bubble-bath-in-the-spa thing in January ... but we loved it! Glad you're enjoying your road trip, it sounds so exciting. Australia is so different. If we were to leave Sydney, we certainly wouldn't be passing through any Chicagos or Clevelands. Pretty much once you leave a state capital, there's farmland or desert or bush or perhaps some small towns, until you hit the next state capital. And we only have seven states here...
