    I saw this car go through our area [Vancouver Island, Canada] a couple of years ago. Cool to see that they made it.

    This family in their car came to stay at Cable Beach Caravan Park in Broome when I was there a few days ago. I was enchanted! I understand they started out 8 years ago, just the two of them, and now have 4 children as well. I don't know about the dream, but I admire them for following it.
    Best wishes to them.
