Travel journal alternative

Next time you are traveling for an extended period of time and thinking about keeping a travel journal, do this instead: Every day — first thing in the morning or just before bed — write a list of 10 things that grabbed your attention during the previous 24 hours. Write enough about each item that you can remember it, but don’t go into great detail. Not only will it make a good chronology of your trip, but you can use each item as a writing prompt on the journey home or after you get home.
