Please reconsider writing about your travels, inserting photos!

If nothing else when you get to be as old as I, is a wonderful way to remember many events.
Well past 80.

I considered writing a book about our travels for about five minutes about thirty years ago. There are so many books on the subject, with such wonderful photographs, that I realized that there would be nothing new that I could add to the genre.

Perhaps it's time to revisit the idea.

As for nothing new to add, that is completely relative, and you have a slightly skewed perspective. lol

Nah. I'm going to leave it the way it is. I actually wrote a book, and I never want to have to go through that again.

My daughter has been married since 2000, and they have no kids. So I'll never be a grandfather. I make narrated slide presentations of our trips on DVD's, and now also on thumb drives. My daughter has a copy of each, and she and her husband actually do look at them once in a while ... especially if they're planning on visiting one of the places to which we have already been. Helps all of us remember the events.

There is a book by Louis Baudin circa 1942 read it in Spanish translation” El Imperio Socialista de los Incas” apparently not available in English that describes well the economic structure of this remarkable Empire
Just amazing how they could weave such a large Empire without wheels or load bearing animals

Yes. They were absolutely incredible. And when you see their works in person, even after many years of aging and decay ... I'm talking about their works here, not me ... it is even more stunning.

Consider a website called Storyworth. They will provide you with a copy (or more) of a book about you and your family through a series of questions. But you can ignore the questions and publish your own stories with pictures and they do the rest. Typical time line is once a week for a year but that isn't cast in concrete either.

It's a way of providing your family a mini book about your adventures with pictures.

Not that expensive either. Check it out.

Thanks for the info. I appreciate your taking the time and effort to let me know about it.
