![]() ![]() I did not care what their dinner menu was for a Greek Island cruise in the 80's. They were in their 90's had lived in Belgium for a few years in the 70's, traveled a lot and had tons of picture scrap books, envelopes of memorabilia, etc and wow, it was just so hard to go thru and pitch most of it out. I stopped printing anything out or doing scrap books about 10 years ago when we had to clean out our parent's home to sell after their deaths. I use Susan's method with just keeping them on the iPhone/iPad/cloud. When I get home I take the emails, rewrite them a bit, and put them into a file. I include names of hotels I stayed, restaurants, etc. Now I use voice-to-text and talk to my phone every nite, describing the day and send it to myself in an email. I used to write every nite but that got a bit tiresome. Every couple of weeks I swap to a different folder and different trip. I really do remember taking many of the pictures. I then put them into a folder labeled with the name of the trip and use them as a background on my computer. I add labels to the ones I keep in case I want to get more details when viewing it (using the names I captured above). When I get home I discard half or more because I take several of a given location knowing I'll thin them out later. I'll end a 3 week trip with about 750-1000 photos. I also take pictures of the names of museums, streets, etc. Just point and shoot, I don't spend time trying to find the perfect angle or the postcard-quality shot.
