Book Description

Publication Date: March 10, 1999

With ROAM-TO's Travel Planner and Journal, you can plan up to a 16-day trip (just remove any excess pages, if your trip is shorter).

The planner comes with a spiral binding, which makes the book easy and comfortable to write in, and side-tabs, so you can see each section at a glance. The sections are labeled: Things To-Do; Packing Checklists; Activity Planner; Daily Journal; Address Book; Record Keeping & Misc. Forms. Also, there are pockets in the back to keep your coupons, maps, tickets, receipts and any important items you can think of.

Have a thought? Need to reference travel plans? Or, maybe write in your journal? Just grab your planner and write it down. No more little scraps of paper with haphazard notes scribbled on them, getting lost. For once, something that is all right there... at your fingertips!

To personalize your planner, create your own 5 ¼ x 8 ½ cover using pictures of your travel destination and insert it under the front cover’s protective sheet. Upon your return, replace with photos from your own trip!

We believe ROAM-TO's Travel Planner & Journal is the best way to plan any vacation, extended business trip, school trip, etc. and, at the same time, create a special keepsake for years to come... not to mention, a great reference for your next trip. It also makes a very special gift for friends and family.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly What I Was Looking For!, February 2, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Travel Planner & Journal (Spiral-bound)

It seemed as though all the travel books I could find were fancy bound books with blank pages on which to write. That was not what I wanted. I wanted something that would help me to corral all of my planning, thoughts, accounting records and memories of my trip. And this book exceeded my expectations.

The "Things to Do" section has multiple "to do" tips as well as places to write your own personal "things to do".

The "Packing Checklists" section has separated lists for different items. For instance, there is a Clothing Items list, General Items list, Toiletry Items, Beach Items, Vehicle Items, Baby Items...with plenty of room in which to write.

My favorite section is the "Activity Planner" It has a place to write in the day and date at the top of a day planner chart. The page that corresponds to the schedule planner, has "Memories of This Day" at the top, and urges you to write in the temperature, weather conditions and special moments of that particular day.

Next is the "Daily Journal" area in which you can expound on what was written previously. Following, is an address book.

The last section of the book has all kinds of little goodies for the traveler. It includes notepaper, a gift list (for people you wish to buy for while on your trip), a film/photo Record (to keep track of which roll of film is of which location--NICE!), a mileage record (that even shows you how to figure miles per gallon), an expense record (item, where spent, item purchased...), Pockets to put in momentos printed on front, it has "This pocket contains:". And last of all, a place to write down things you have learned during the trip that might be helpful in future trips.

I am buying another one of these journals as a gift. And I will, quite possibly, purchase more for future trips.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Travel Planner, June 2, 2005

This review is from: Travel Planner & Journal (Spiral-bound)

I liked the spiral bound format and the ability to create my own cover by inserting pictures from my trip. The "Activity Planner" section has useful prompts for the weather, meals and highlights of each day. Actually, I wish it had a few more prompts, such as places visited, people met or lodging accomodations merely because I didn't have time to expand on all that in the large "Journal" section while on vacation. I needed that info. to jog my memory with after I got home.

The numerous pre-trip planning lists and suggestions were very helpful. Most journals I looked at in stores didn't include this feature...and I really needed those reminders!

It's hard to tell what something is going to be like until you get it, but I was very pleased with you travel journal and would buy another one for a future trip.

During my recent trip to Europe, this book was found to be very helpful. I had purchased one for myself and my travel partner and we both enjoyed the book immensely. I especially liked the pockets in the back to carry postcards and other documents allowing us to keep organized. The Activity Planner was helpful with the daily schedule of events, meals, etc. I highly recommend using this booklet pre-trip, during the trip and post-trip.
