Maps, Travel Journal and Photos Make Interesting Story
I love to travel and I’m always prepared. I acquire maps to the places that I want to visit before I go so that I can become familiar with the way their roads work. Right now I have a map of Japan, 2 maps of Mexico and a map of Canada. As I travel around these countries, I use my maps to make sure I know where I’m going.
They get a lot of wear and tear but it makes for an interesting story. I come home from my trip and I retire the maps to my collection. Sometimes I’ll hang the retired map on the wall of my study so that I can retrace my steps and add any additional details that I might have left out of my traveling journal.
I combine the journal entries with the map and pictures that I took to compile a nice little story to share with my grandkids. They seem to like hearing about all of the places I’ve been to and they hallways ask me to take them with me sometime. I think that in the future they will love having the mementos of my adventure.
