It is completely beyond me why they also included spaces for owners to record their credit card numbers and expiration dates in it. But on the other hand, there’s the possibility I might mislay my book in an airport. Okay, I can see why I might want to inscribe my contact information in there if I misplace it on the boat it will be that much easier to retrieve. These pages include space to record important details, such as contact information, vaccination, travel insurance and health insurance numbers and dates, emergency contacts and loyalty cards for hotels, car rental and airlines. The first pages in my new Travel Journal-which measures about half the size of a sheet of paper-are the usual pages for recording personal information. Here’s the journal I bought: First impressions of the travel journal

It also has one thing that most journals fail to include, and it’s the feature I most appreciate: an accordion-pleated pocket that is securely glued inside the back cover.

(Hurray! No more need to use Post-It notes to bookmark where I’m writing!) I’m also inspired by its many tabbed sections, the variety of formatted pages and the book’s three convenient ribbon place holders.

I’m glad that it has an attached elastic band it was especially intended to keep the book closed in my purse and help prevent dog-eared pages.

It’s highly unlikely any pages will fall out!

It’s a hard-cover book, and rather than the wire spirals I’ve used since my school days all the pages are bound with stitching.

It certainly had more appeal than any of the other notebooks I have ever purchased.

Not just your everyday notebookĪfter yielding to temptation and shelling out $19.95 plus tax, I left hoping this travel journal would turn out to be as useful as it looked.

Somehow they don’t garner the same respect.

I have lots of spiral notebooks and I have to admit that I rarely look at them once they’re full of notes.

There’s something very satisfying about holding a hardcover book. There’s another factor: I wanted the entire experience to be a pleasure, not just in the writing but in the reading. It’s not merely that I needed a book where I can record my travel memories, though. You can see how this might be useful, can’t you? Name.Īfter our trip, I’d want to recall every one of the colorful people we met, the new places we were able to visit and the foreign foods we finally had a chance to sample.… Tasting jenever with Anne, one of the friends we made on our Rhine cruise … Must. Just trying to imagine all that could be packed into our trip completely boggled my mind. We’d enjoy guided tours, cultural experiences, and lectures, along with plenty of time to explore the ports on our own. Our river cruise took us to five countries in 15 days, and the itinerary ( you can see it here if you want) would keep us busy. Why I decided to try the Moleskine travel journal Out came the wallet: I just had to try it out. I mean, it’s the first travel journal with pockets that I’d ever seen. Thinking about its potential eventually weakened me to the point that I succumbed to temptation. I even enjoy reading travel quotes, just to fuel my wanderlust.Īnyway, I managed to resist its siren song for a few weeks. The fact that it was called a “Passions Journal” kind of did me in. One notebook in particular seemed to call to me, thanks in no small part to the cute retro airport departure board that was embossed on its cover: the Moleskine Travel Journal.
