When we bought our MH in 2003, the salesperson, took a photo of us outside our Rig, and at delivery we were given a beautiful journal to write in, just inside the cover was a very touching note under our pasted in photo. On the front was an engraved brass mini plaque. They made it look beautiful.
I've faithfully documented every trip, journey, overnight stay we've made ever since with boon docking locations, likes, dislikes, costings of the trip broken down, things we wish we'd had time to do or were a waste of money. Quite detailed, and love the fact that in such a tech heavy era we are all now in, it's nice to be able to write in a journal for a change,l and read back over as the years march on. It's become a great reference when planning future trips as well.
Just find it's easier and quicker to grab the book and jot down notes here and there, even if we are in a remote no service location I can update our journal easily.
We have the iPhones, windows laptop and Macbook Pro, but sometimes some of the old fashioned ways of doing some things are just priceless. We've even encouraged our children and we ourselves still mail old fashioned postcards now and again to friends and family and they for sure all say how lovely it is to get a handwritten postcard to treasure.
Some things, old fashioned as they are referred to by some, still are better with time we've found, and have more meaning.
We do plan our trips/budgets/actual costs on a spreadsheet though for ease of sorting at later times when needed.
