Why use ANY travel journal? Why not just think of all the fun times on your trip?

Because without one, you will come home, get back in your routines, and the memories of that fun, fabulous vacation will fade away - guaranteed! Within embarrassingly too few days or weeks after you come home, your special memories will have melted into one big fat faded trip with just a title like Chicago or Paris or Oh Yes, Where Was I?

Deep down you know the consequences, yet in today's fast-changing world, why WOULD you be drawn to the old traditional, stuffy travel journal to use? You wouldn't, you aren't..you're normal.

Before we look at the difference between old style and new creative journals, let us tap into something...that you have a gut instinct that you need to capture highlights of your vacation with your camera AND PEN. Real Life has taught you well.

Remember wanting to retrieve memories of fun vacations..those moments when you put your index finger to your cheek as you mentally searched for details to bring the special times into focus..and you couldn't remember them. Not then, not ever. Ouch!

What happened? In the moment of fun you swore to yourself you would NEVER EVER FORGET this place, this place, these people..but you did.

That can be in the past: your future can be different. Experience and science proves that reading just a couple of words will immediately pop a moment-in-time back to life, in full color - as if you are there again. It is like magic, and it works every time.

OK, so now you say you want to, okay, need to, somehow-somewhere write down short details at the time they happen or within hours, at the most. It is that somewhere-somehow that's been the challenge - for every time you visualize buying a journal to take on a vacation, your mind screams out BORING.

Today you have an exciting option. There's a unique, new journal type to buy! When you realize what makes "new" new, you will change that scream to an enthusiastic shout FINALLY! THIS WILL BE FUN, LET'S START PLANNING A VACATION!

Here are some differences in the journal you expect to see available and the new style that will actually inspire you to save your trip memories:

THE TRADITIONAL TRAVEL JOURNAL

  • Harder, slick paper

  • Pages lined on both sides

  • Calls for worthy ideas

  • No inspiration aroused

  • Pages cannot be moved

  • Seems like an obligation

  • No pen attached

  • No way to attach mementos

  • Photos destined to be buried in your computer

NEW CREATIVE TRAVELJOURNALS

  • Watercolor painting on covers draw you in

  • You title the journal
