rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Torntara - From the moment our little girl was born, we've spent most of our time carrying her when travelling. First, we live in a country that has few sidewalks/pavements, and second, slings and backpacks are so incredibly easy to handle. We had been doing very...

The Guardian: The Guardian Weekly

Sat, 30 Dec 2000 08:39:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Torntara - Living away from the UK I subscribe to the weekly version of the Guardian.

Where to go in Phuket

Fri, 17 Mar 2000 06:00:11 GMT
