Wrote a new set of answers to the Frequently Asked Questions we get about our travels. Posted them on the FAQ page, as well as created a new post to highlight them.

Posted a blog entry inviting friends and family (or almost anyone, really) to visit us in Australia later this year.
10 April 2012
Posted a blog entry about living in Australia, called Living Down Under.
Also uploaded the same video in 720p HD to Youtube.

Uploaded a short teaser/preview to Youtube for the next PV video I’ve been working on, #20 The World’s Most Dangerous Road.

Don’t know how this slipped through the cracks, but… Today I uploaded the final chart on our weekly budget chart page. We still need to go back and include the dates from July 1, 2010, to Nov 10, 2010, (Oksana needs to rework the spreadsheet before we can do that, though) but for now, we have charts for the entire year+ we were outside the United States!
Uploaded 42 more photos (the last) to our Cambodia Album. Facebook has a limit of 200 per album, otherwise I would have posted 94 I selected and edited.
Installed an Instapaper “Read Later” plugin for WordPress, then uninstalled it when I realized I could accomplish the same thing by customizing the Share This plugin which was already installed. It’ll take two clicks, but Instapaper users can now more easily save my long-ass “Thoughts On” blog entries for later reading. Just in time for a 15-pager on Thailand coming tomorrow… (I also added a +like and a +1 button for Facebook and Google Plus. Maybe someone will use them someday!)
Finally, finally, finally! Caught up on the summaries for our daily GPS tracks. Probably no one reads them, but it feels good to have them done and off my list.

Decided to tag all the McDonald’s videos so that they’ll appear in the podcast. No idea if subscribers will see them retroactively appear in iTunes, though.
Uploaded the last batch of Vietnam photos (Saigon market, mostly) to the Vietnam Album page.
24 Jan 2012
Uploaded the second batch of Vietnam photos to the Vietnam Album page. Should finish up tomorrow.
Uploaded the first batch of Laos photos to the new Laos Album page.
9 Jan 2012
Finally updated our GPS track to the end of the trip in Brisbane, Australia (Unfortunately, I still need type up and add almost 2 months worth of notes to go along with the tracks… but at least the map now shows our entire route!)
Found a few more Thailand photos and added them to the Thailand II album.
Mentioned Brandy’s awesome comment on our Thoughts on Botswana post on FB and Twitter.
Created a new widget for the front-page sidebar to direct first time visitors to the best posts.

Oops. Oksana caught a mistake in the infographic. No idea how I counted 33 countries instead of just 31. Fixed it, though.
Postcard Valet is a travel blog and video podcast by Arlo and Oksana Midgett. They just wrapped up their round-the-world trip and are currently updating this site with stories, photos, and videos from their travels while looking for work in Australia.
