   Bring plenty of pens, because you may lose some along the way. , If you have many friends or followers that are interested in your travels, you can schedule time to blog and promote your writing career at the same time.
   
   Make sure to give an animated, interesting view of your travels, rather than simply writing down details. , If you have to devote time to work, then you should schedule that and add a few days to the trip so that you fit in all you can see.
