A few days before leaving on my trip to the Riviera Maya I watched
this video from Karla Nathan on how to create a simple travel document folder. It was extremely easy to make, using 1 sheet of double-sided 12"x12" scrapbook paper.
It really helped me keep my reservation confirmations,
itinerary, boarding passes, etc well organized. I put in a couple staples, then covered their pointy ends with stickers, but the staples aren't really necessary. Just paper and a bone folder will get the job done. Oh, and ribbon.
I also took along this small journal I had just purchased from
AlphaStamps. I couldn't resist the set of 2 journals for the great vintage graphics.
I found this small size easy to stash in my purse, keep at my bedside, or take out to the
palapa. This is the first time I used a journal to record my vacation observations. It would have been good to take a set of colored pencils to make drawings, but I didn't (and there was no shopping whatsoever except at the airports and you know what's available there). Neat how some paper made my trip easier and a little more fun. Addendum: The first entry in my journal is "Authentic". I had watched, as though viewing a train wreck, Bob 1st)forget the charger for his Kindle on which was all his reading material for vacation, 2
nd)lose his driver's license at the first airport security check, 3rd)leave behind his Kindle at the aforementioned checkpoint...we hadn't even started our trip yet! So as I was rolling my eyes at all of this I had an attitude shift: Bob is the most authentic person I know. There is no pretense, no posing, no airs...what you see is what you get. Immediate, unvarnished Bob. As I wrote that evening in my journal,
watch and learn. PSS I knew it was a longshot to find a Kindle charger at the airport, and certainly not at the resort. But, hallelujah, at the Dallas airport is Brookstone, and they had a charger. I scouted the shops, because Bob had given up hope, came back to him and said; "Well, you're probably not interested, but IF you want a charger, there's one right over there". HA!

Aren't those folders simple and handy? I use them every time I fly, it really helps me to keep organized.
