i've been keeping travel journals since my honeymoon to italy (almost 16 years ago) and hope to organize the notes, mementos and photos in the future. my reasoning for keeping the journals was that i KNEW i wouldn't remember all the little details years (or even weeks) after the trip(s). i'm a stay-at-home mom/watercolor artist with a 13 year old and our hobby is travel....we love tropical destinations such as australia, costa rica and hawaii, however, we also love italy with the wonderful museums, food and art. we hope to travel to spain, portugal, france and perhaps the cook islands in the future. my daughter and i are traveling to seattle soon and staying at a bed/breakfast and that's why i thought i'd check out this website. happy and healthy traveling!
