Whenever I travel, I have three parts: a travel checklist of supplies I carry with me, keep in mind ways to reduce travel stress, and lastly things to create memories and add to my scrapbooking.
-
Take pictures
Photos are a great way to preserve memories. With digital cameras, it has even been easier. I usually download the photos onto Shutterfly and then I can order the ones I like, as well as work on various projects through the site.
-
Record videos
This takes more work, but is worth it on longer trips. Sometimes I will take out a small video camera to record a video diary on my trips.
