My new travel toy

Well it's Christmas but my most engaging new toy to date is one I bought myself. It's an Archos 605 wifi. This little device plays video and music and can also surf the net on wireless hotspots. It also stores PDF files, so I've downloaded a whole heap of PDF travel guides off Travelfish (the best South East Asian travel website out there, bar none). So hopefully this will keep me entertained and informed on the road.

I put this here because I wanted to figure out how to add pictures...


The thing is a bugger to type on though, having to use a virtual keyboard. Hopefully my speed with typing will improve. The worse thing is that it takes two clicks to get commas and apostrophes, so if my grammar starts to slide it's because I've been lazy.

Am in Adelaide at the moment, and fly back to Darwin on 30 December and then onto Singapore for New Years Eve. Then onto Laos, Thailand and maybe a few days in Bali on the way back to Darwin. Haven't booked the return ticket as yet, since I thought I might keep going. But I resist the urge for a bit longer as a six month job on Groote Eylandt is on the cards, which could be a bit of an adventure!

Merry Christmas by the way.
