If you’re a scrapbooker you may have piles of photos from holidays and other trips – do they all look alike? It can be difficult to scrap holidays and journeys differently. Follow our journalling prompts this week for seven different ways to write about your holiday.
Today think of a particular holiday – look at the photos if you like, for inspiration, and ask
So what was it like when you got there?
Was it wonderful? Did it disappoint? How did you feel as you moved in?

Travel: the journey
Travelling and journeys is such a big area to write about – and if you’re a journaller or a scrapbooker you’re bound to have notes and/or photos from your past trips.
Dig some out and think not about the PLACE you went to but how you got there. Was the journey exciting? Relaxing? Part of the holiday? Or was it a nightmare, you took 2 days to get Los Angeles, had the meeting, turned round and came home?
Write about the journey and what you remember most.

Travel: the list
Our subject matter for the daily writing prompts this week is travel and today’s writing prompt is about: what you take with you on a journey.
What do you take? What’s essential and what’s not
Here’s some on my list:
An Englishwoman can’t go anywhere without tea, so the first thing I pack is my teabags. Sometimes I’ll pack milk in a thermos to keep it cool and a teapot as well, especially if going abroad where teapots aren’t usual.
I always take a picnic kit too. It’s much cheaper to buy the makings of sandwiches than the made sandwiches, but you invariably need a knife to cut up the bread, and picnic plates, paper napkins etc. are all very useful for a successful family lunch out.
I take a small towel and/or teatowel – someone’s bound to get wet the minute the family goes near the sea or water of any kind
Anti-mosquito spray and suncream are absolutely essential as I react badly if bitten (and am allergic to most antibiotics) and since I got badly sunburned in Pompeii one year, I never tan, just come up in heat bumps, so I need a high factor suncream….

This blog collects journalling prompts in one place at the rate of one a day. Use it for inspiration if you're a writer, journaller, blogger or scrapbooker. Where possible I'll add my own response to the prompt. Please feel free to suggest prompts, as a "guest prompter".
