I came to you via one of your followers, can't remember who right now! I love your pictures! I love the stories you tell, but one thing that jumped out at me was when you wrote: "If you put all of your focus completely on the destination itself, you risk overlooking the actual journey. Whether you’re taking a road trip into the mountains or flying half-way across the world to explore another country, be in the moment. Appreciate your journey for what it is. Pay attention to the details. And photograph them. They are just as much a part of the story." I know you are speaking in the natural, but my blog speaks of this same thing but as in LIFE being a journey, and not to be in such a hurry to cross things off our list, but to enjoy every step of the along the way! I will be following your blog, please come visit me when you can! Hi Becka!

I have saved the print out but its not the same as a ticket. I guess I am old fashion. What I hate about paperless tickets is just that there isn’t a cool ticket to put in the album.

Great post! Just got back from vacation, but of course did not think of taking photos of any of these things. Oh well, next time! I have a question that is a little off topic. How do you organize your electronics and cords? We have cords and gadgets everywhere....it is so frustrating! It is difficult to know what cord goes with what etc. Do you have an easy solution? Thanks! Hi Becky!

Recently we went to Bulgaria for a couple of weeks. Had I not been drinking in the entire travel experience, I would have missed out on one of the best meals I've ever eaten in the most unlikely place - Frankfurt Airport! You just never know what awaits! This is SO true! Recently we went to Bulgaria for a couple of weeks.

I always pack along different sizes of ziplock bags. I have used them for everything and they take up no room if you don't end up using come. 2. I email myself after each day with details from our trip. Then when I get home the memories are already there waiting for me! Two other tips:
