I've been wading through old discussions

I wrote about us printing a book about our travels in 2017. It was made up from Vince’s blog. He didn’t do a blog for our 2015 trip but I’ve discovered that I have a virtual journey of the five-month trip through my discussions on Bubblews (a few) and MyLot (a great many!). So we might try to do a second book.
I’ve always written in Word and edited/tweaked my offerings before putting them up on MyLot. I’ve now very pleased I tackled it this way. It still means I have many files to wade through searching for posts about our travels but at least the text is all there somewhere.
I also put up a lot of short video clips of photos before YouTube stopped that option. That will help us find the appropriate photos.
And I’m a bit surprised at how much I’ve forgotten about the trip and about some other things. For instance, it seems I once read a book written from the viewpoint of Emily Bronte’s maid. I have absolutely no recollection of it but it’s there in hard print so I guess I did. I truly am getting old.
The photo is of the Carrick-a-Rede swinging bridge.

It will be so much fun remembering all the locations and going back over them again.

I'm afraid of heights so I would not cross that bridge, I hope you do a second book, It is a great way to put together all your memories,

It's certainly a good idea too save your posts in Word. I do the same, write them all in word then paste them in. When I first joined Bubblews someone kindly suggested that idea and it's certainly useful in case you write a post and then the site crashes or something!

We have several swinging bridges in New Brunswick. I look forward to hubby hopefully being well enough to take a short walk. Right now a trip from the living room to the bathroom exhausts him.
When my parents passed away my sister suggested I use all of my emails to family member, keeping them updated, and creating a book.

@JudyEv no. I decided that family had read them, maybe even saved them….I didn’t want to go through those couple of years a second time….yet….here I am.

I've gone back to some old ones from time to time looking for information/dates/etc.

Great photo. I don't think I would trust that bridge. I'm glad you've found sources for your book of travels. Have a good weekend.
