We are always sad at the end of a trip. But we keep an eye out for new ways to preserve our memories, including emerging technologies that make it easy to create panoramic vistas from several single photographs and ever-easier ways to share photos online.
Today’s Family Adventure Travel tip: Reminisce Before the Trip Ends
- During dinner your last night, or while waiting to board the flight home, have everyone take turns sharing their best memories of the trip. Designate one person to take notes.
- When you arrive home, download or print your photos as soon as you can, and write in captions detailing where the photos were taken, and any associated memories.
- Share the photos with friends and family
- Share the photos with your own family before sitting down to plan your next trip!
What is your dream family adventure vacation? It may seem too expensive, or too difficult, but I encourage you to dream. It may be easier than you think!

Last year we went on vacation with our entire extended family as a 50th celebration for my in-laws. Everyone took photos and at the end of the trip I got a digital copy of everyone’s photos. I used the entire pool of images to create a book using the tool we have at DrGreene.com.
It was really interesting seeing which activities and sights multiple people photographed. Certain things seemed to be important to everyone. I was sure to include those in the book.
In the end I created a big book as a gift for my in-laws. You can take a peek here, if you’d like.*
Creating memories with photos is a wonderful way to keep the memories alive.
* You can create books at DrGreene.com for as little as $15. I created a really large format, so the cost was higher for my book.
