No more of this. Painfully old-fashioned! "This is what $1000 worth of bay leaves looks like in the rough." (From my notes about a hillside near Amasra, on Turkey's Black Sea Coast, in 1991.) |
There's a cool website (cool for real: it's hosted in British Columbia, Canada) named MyTripJournal.com that lets you plan your itinerary and plot it on a map. It then generates a little website just for your trip!
As you travel you can add comments, daily descriptions of what you've seen and done, and even photos (the view from your hotel room, restaurants—even meals—you've eaten, the kids having fun, souvenirs or gifts you're thinking of buying). Your friends and family members not on the trip can follow your progress on the Web from anywhere in the world.
Your trip website can be private, open only to those who have the password (which you give them), or it can be public, for the whole world to see.
Here are some of the best MyTripJournal websites on Turkey.
When you return home, you can download your website to use as an electronic trip journal, or you can order a printed memory album or CD.
Try it out for free: go to MyTripJournal.com and use the Demo system.
Is this the wave of the future, or what?
