Greetings Folks

The wife and I just got back from Palm Beach and Key West. What a great trip!

I have often keep a hand written journal while on vacation of the places we go, nutty things that happen, great or not so great dinning experiences.

Does anyone else do this?

JD, yes I do that as well. Helps put me right back into what I was, what impressed me the most. I'd have to say that while I will record places I went it is usually the emotion that I track.

Good point.

I too impress emotion into my journals be it a vacation experience or just my regular day to day stuff. In fact it is hard not too, especially when you really enjoy something or are really irritated about a bad experience.

I think travel journals are a great idea, not least to stay in touch with all the folks back home....I would never pay for one though, there are a couple of excellent free services about... i chose this one http://www.travelpackers.com/cgi-bin...in=delstravels

I see, the computer is a great way to keep a log of what you do and you can even post pics of the vacation for others to see even before you return. I like it that idea too!

The journaling I am speaking of however is the hand written style, in a travel journal or just scribbling down notes in any old book you may have with blank paper.

I have done this often but wish I had been a bit more organized in my approach.
