5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Journal Yet, August 25, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Travel Journal (Diary)

I travel outside of the US once a year and the perfect journal is essential.Last year I used this journal for a Spain/Portugal trip and I plan to buy it again for a trip to Thailand. The book is a paper back and it comes with a thick plastic cover which gives it durability. There are plenty of pages to help you plan and get organized: record of travelers checks, addresses, travel itinerary, packing lists, etc.I really like the lined pages which have spaces to record the date and place. There are plenty of pages to record daily events for a 4 week trip.The back of the book has useful embassy numbers, climate charts, world maps and more.

Over the years of traveling in Central America, Europe and Asia I have tried out a variety of travel journals. None have worked as well as this one. With its laminated cover, handy conversion charts, internal front and rear pockets for storing tickets, postcards, etc., address book with space for 24 names/addresses, 17-day itinerary section, ample writing space and slim design, it is the best travel journal that I've seen or used. Christine Rickerby's Travel Journal is now the only one that I use and the first thing that I pack when preparing for any journey.

I first used this travel journal on a trip to Greece in 2000 and absolutely loved it. I traveled extensively throughout the country on cruises, bus tours, etc. and had plenty of room to document it all in the 113 journal pages. Despite my detailed journal entries, I never ran out of room!

In addition to journal pages are the entry pages for the following:
Personal Data, Itinerary, Addresses, Record of Traveler's Checks and Credit Cards, Records of Expenses, Records of Photos, Notes

As well as:
Traveler's Survival Kit checklist, Conversion Charts & Voltages, Clothing Sizes, International Dialing Codes, World Currencies & Languages, World Climates, Flight Times & Distances to/from Airports, International Airport Codes, American Embassies, Maps and World Time Zones

There is a lot of information in these pages, but unfortunately much of it is now outdated (as more than 10 years have passed since it was published). Also, country information is limited (ie: the only African country referenced is South Africa). But I like it anyway because of its entry pages and plethora of journal space. There is a lot packed into its slim paperback design. Also, the plastic dust jacket is highly durable and helps protect against dirt and water damage. Finally, sprinkled within the journal pages are traveler's quotes which add fun flavor. All in all, a great journal...I only wish they would update it. I give it 3 stars because of its 1994 reference information (5 stars if they republish it with updated info).
