Traveling with a 6 week old newborn sounds a bit different from traveling with one with 10 months of age. But actually, I think you could pull it off. It might even be easier than traveling with a baby of Oiva's age. First of all, a newborn (often) sleeps most of the day (I can't remember if it was 16 hours per day or even more). Second, even when he/she is awake he/she doesn't move nor care about where he/she is. Any place is just as good as any other. I'm starting to wonder why we didn't travel with Oiva when he was younger ;) @James: Hehe! You said that once before, but it's great to hear it again anyway, brother :) I just went to read your blog post - you can expect a comment over there as well once I get it written. @Pepez: Good idea! :)

But actually, I think you could pull it off. It might even be easier than traveling with a baby of Oiva’s age. First of all, a newborn (often) sleeps most of the day (I can’t remember if it was 16 hours per day or even more). Second, even when he/she is awake he/she doesn’t move nor care about where he/she is. Any place is just as good as any other.

Have I said that before? "Just don’t let your carefulness stop you from doing the big things you are planning". I am in the process of simplifying and making some big changes in business and personal life. I blogged about them a bit today at my personal blog and I am tired of being careful and playing by others rules. And I thank Shane and you for some this inspiration! @Shane - go for broke on the baby thing, even though she is going to do all the work! LOL. My family and I go just about everywhere together and we love being with each other. It's a tremendous blessing no matter how young or old they are. Jarkko,

It's nice to be back with such amazing people waiting for me :) @UltraRob: I know. That happens to me a lot as well, and as long as the rest of your needs (and the needs of your family) are fulfilled, that's OK. One thing that is on my mind right now is the nature of the work. Is it something you have to do, or something you want to do? Maybe by implementing a muse business, like Tim Ferriss recommends, we could get rid of the have-to and only work on the want-to (your website, in this case?). @Mark: Nice to hear that I got you thinking! Looking forward to hearing your ideas :) @Don: Thanks, man! It's great to hear you enjoy my writing. And yes, Oiva is the cutest! Take care! Thanks guys!
