Journals are a great way for us to reflect on our lives and how we fit into this vast world. Vacations give us a chance to step outside of our normal lives and see things from a new perspective, which often makes for inspiring journal entries. Journals can be a wonderful way to capture a feeling or experience from a particular trip or place and share it with others.

Alaska

Some memories fade over time
but a few are with us for eternity
They touch us so deep that our very souls are forever left imprinted

Alaska is a place that has touched my soul in such a way
It is a place so grand and so vast,
so beautiful and full of life,
that I can only hope to someday reflect
that which has moved my soul.

Mt. Whitney

There is something about the mountains that draws us. Maybe it is the ability to escape from today's fast paced life and return to a simple almost primitive way of life, where the most basic things become the most important.
