I use this blog often and for several reasons. I was recently asked if I take notes while on a trip. I do use a digital recorder mostly; even I have trouble reading my scratchy scribbles. I however try to blog every night, to be honest I often have to go back to see when and where I was a given time. Going back also gives me a feel for just what I though was important and a chance to check out the photos I liked. My day ends when my blog is finished and emails answered. I am working on my Finnish Lapland piece here at home and just went through my pictures of my trip on the ice breaker Sampo and putting on a survivor’s suit for a dip in the ice clogged, Sea of Bothnia. That I will always remember!
