Travel log/blog

We also do a blog for our family to follow us since we went full time July of last year.
We were up at Silent Valley Club during the big fire that's burning in SoCal right now (Silver Fire) and were evacuated out leaving our rig there. It is the latest post I have done and the largest view I have had!

We take many pictures on every trip and the wife writes up the more interesting stuff that occurred during that day to help recall it later on.

When we get home, she sorts thru the pics and uses that Shutterfly service to make your own book. She types up some stuff for the pics and when there is enough for a full book, she orders it.

We have found it's easier to show family and friends in this format and we also refer back to them a lot when we are trying to remember a specific site or place we liked in the past or looking to go to again.

We have one to share our adventures and keep reviews on campgrounds we've been too.

I keep sort of a diary for my own personal information. Where I stayed, what I saw and did, who I met, etc. I re-read my notes on my Alaska trip every so often and re-live the trip in my mind. The gas is a lot cheaper. :)

We have also to keep family informed as well as it being our travel log for our own information. Family appreciated knowing where we were and looking at the pretty pictures!
Our travel blog

When we took our 5 week trip this summer I didn't blog, but posted our daily adventures on my facebook page. I added photos and labeled them for family. Everyone enjoyed the posts and pictures and followed out adventures through that. Had a ball with it and if something important was needed on the communication I either called or sent a personal message.

I have an "RVing" blog that includes park reviews that I go to. But I'm woefully behind on them. The link is in my signature.

Then, I also keep a spreadsheet of every park that we go to, the site we stayed in, who went and the distance traveled. This is for my own use, though and not something that I publish as it includes future plans, as well.

Since most of the travel blog I have read does not have any "real" information even for family members, and I am not sure I want to post "real" info on the web -- I do not use one. I email to family my current location and future plans. Any "real" info (about myself or the campground) I use the phone.

I post my travel photos to the link in my signature and email family when I have uploaded new photos.

I started keeping a real 'blog' of our travels about 5 years ago. Before that DW always tried to keep a written log of our major trips. When we would be travelling or away for our winters found it the best way to keep the folks & kids informed of our happenings. Also found that it was a nice permanent record of what was happening when.

This blog goes back several years: JJnLilly's adventures

Sometimes we add stuff to our website (in our signature. Other times we add photos to our Photobucket page. We hgotta get better about it.
