The usual tips with a twist

19 Jul 2017 Comments Off

Dear Fellow Journalers,

Ok, I know I usually write tips on how to write these different types of journals and so this one is no different. First you have to decide if you will want to remember your trip 5,10 or 15 years from now. I suppose if your trip was to commemorate a special occasion such as a trip to California to see your grandchild graduate or maybe it was your ____ anniversary , then you definitely want to remember those journeys.

What do you want to include?

a. Your route (plotted on a map), People, (photos are best with names) and “top” moments (best sunset, view, meal).

b. Don’t include everything – leave some things out. Why? As you look back over the journal and memories come flooding back, you will inevitably remember something you didn’t write about!

c. Write about your senses. (tastes, smell)

d. Pictures (postcards are nice)

E. Ticket stubs, newspaper articles.

F.Write how you talk.

G. Did you have a bad time, anywhere?

H. Did you get lost or sick?

I. Did you miss your flight and have to spend the night in the airport?

J. Do you need to buy a bigger suitcase?
