Preserving Vacation Memories
After you return home, you will wish your trip would have lasted forever, but you’re sure you’ll remember all the good times you had for the rest of your life. But unless you have a photographic memory, some of them will fade away. We suggest recording all the special – and even some of what may seem like more mundane at the time – happenings in a travel journal. Here are some ideas on what you may want to record to make putting together a digital scrapbook following your trip quicker and easier and help you to thoroughly recall all the fun you had:
