Thoughts on Travel

journal.jpg

A few years ago I spent a summer semester at Cambridge University and then traveled around Europe for a few weeks. It was one of the most amazing summers of my life, and I recorded my thoughts and experiences in a little red leather travel journal. I put ticket stubs from shows, restaurant receipts, and anything else I could fit on it's pages, and then I lost it when we moved here. I have been looking for it ever since. Hopefully, someday I'll find it, although I think I've been through everything tons of times over the last few years.

Anyway, this summer, I'll have the chance to create yet another memoir of my experiences. I didn't keep one last summer when we went to Korea because we stayed so busy, but this trip includes time on the bus, and not-so-late-nights (I was on a tour for young people in Europe), so there will be plenty of time for reflection.

I found this cute pink travel journal online. Pink has been my color of choice lately, so I am thinking of ordering this one. I think as an avid blogger, I will need something to fan the flames while I'm away from my laptop, so this little pink book will have to suffice. :-)

aww..travel journals with momentos are the best. I hope you find the original one. And the pink one is sooo sweet.

It's so cute! Just a warning, though, if you'll be traveling a lot, pretty pale pink like that tends to get dirty really easily :) (speaking from experience)

Just imagine how awesome it will be when you find it - because you won't have seen it for so long - all the memories will pop back up all fresh and shiny.

I can imagine your first post in SA..." Arrived at our hotel in South Africa, turned on the tv. Dr Phil was on! Have we even left the USA?".

Love the pink!! But I am so into pink because of my five year old everything she buys and touches has to be pink

I think that is sooo cute! Sorry about your carpet too! I have a huge orange spot where I accidently bleached the carpet and I rent!! OH NO!

The pink is GREAT. I have a red one almost exactly like that. I haven't used it yet. I'm saving it for something good. :)
