Keeping a Vacation LogI've been privileged to be able to take numerous vacations over the years that amaze even myself, and one of the things I'm most happy about is the habit I made long ago of keeping a log. I'm a bachelor, so this is one of the key ways, along with the photos, of sharing that vacation when I return, as opposed to having a wife and children to share it with during the trip. At first, it was a struggle to do it, but now I'm able to do it in great detail, and will usually end up with at least 2 pages for each day of the trip, and maybe more, depending on what was done on that day.I've kept track of where I spent the night, what I had for supper, then where I went for breakfast, maybe even what I ate. I remember one night back in 1984 during my solo drive to Alaska--my first night on the Alaska Hwy. in a campground in British Columbia. I was invited over to the campfire of several couples from the Midwest who were traveling together. They shared their coffee with me before I went off to my tent. I found up there that, unlike in the Lower 48, there are no fast route and scenic route between point A and point B, but just one route. So, the next morning I drove a few...more

One reason is I'm a bachelor,...more
