Whilst Travelling....

Several years ago, my friend Gaye made a travel journal.  It was the coolest thing, with dividers of all kinds, with places and instructions on how to get there, exit numbers and road names and distances.  So of course I had to make one too.  Mine never got as full as hers, and in fact a lot of the places are crossed out because they aren't there anymore.  And even though the GPS gadget has almost replaced Gaye's travel journal, the GPS is not nearly as much fun to hold.

This is my journal, made with a segmented binding, using Touche for the cover (a soft, sturdy cardstock).  I need to go more places and add more directions and maps and business cards to my journal I think.

Great idea. I think it would be fun to write comments in and look back on... kind of like looking back at an old planner etc...

This is the best idea I ever had. There is no GPS that tells you "where the bathroom is", the store hours, business cards, drug stores, and all the little things you want to remember about that store. Maybe you don't want to visit that place again? It's worth a million dollars to me. Not to mention how wonderful the Touche card stock feels in your hand.
