Summary: The Practical Travel Journal
Review: Looking for the perfect travel journal is difficult. Non-spiral journals make it difficult to write on when in buses or trains. Large journals just take up too much room. I found a lot of journals have inspirational quotes, which seems redundant- the places I travel to are usually inspiration enough. After looking at many journals I decided I wanted one with tough exterior, and it had to be spiral. Well, Lonely Planet's travel journal went way beyond that. There are sections for itineraries, addresses, travel related web-sites. It has continent maps, airline phone numbers, and other important numbers. There is a pocket in the front to keep loose items until they find their place. A wheel in the back that helps for time changes. Best of all, it has enough space for writing, sketching or anything else. The book is a great addition to my travels.

Summary: Don't take a trip without it
Review: This handy travel journal is by far the best I have used. It is small enough to take along almost anywhere, and big enough to provide plenty of writing space. The backs of the lined pages are plain, solving the problem of ink bleed through and giving an on-the-spot location for the many items that document your trip; ticket stubs, cards collected from fellow travelers, receipts, and your own sketches.The maps show enough, but not too much, there are calendars through 2002, a clothing sizing chart, conversions from metric to imperial, a few pages for addresses, and an oh-so-helpful time zone conversion wheel. All of this is in the spiral bound, lay-flat-when-you-need-it, just-the-right-size journal for your trip.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: This is my 2nd purchase, I've used the first journal for my trip to Ireland this past May (2 weeks). I found the book very useful. The fact that it is a spiral notebook allowed me to fold it backward and write in it when there isn't a table around. At the end the trip I ran out of pages, only because I'm very "long winded". It had a lot of useful phone numbers and a small file pocket to put your receipts and tickets. The worldtime converter dial was easy to use, but the world maps were a bit simplistic and should contain more detail. Otherwise, this is a great travel journal.
