My journal for my trip across the pond is a 3½ x 5½ moleskin, filled with maps especially for London. We're not actually GOING to London but it was the only English city journal I could find here at Jenni Bick. [I dream of having one of these for a few of my favorite cities, and creating a 'character' who journals in each one. But that's another story.] Below, a sampling of a few of the pages in my England journal -- I've been quietly, slowly, casually working on this for 3 months now. 
Perfectly compact, sturdy, ready to go! 
Two weeks and a "wake-up" to take-off! 
I've put in a glassine envelope for each day we are actually THERE (excluding travel), to collect receipts, ephemera, found objects. Also in the envelope is a small tag to make notes about the items. 
Envelope for Day 4. 
Umbrella and Wellies!! (grin) 
In anticipation of old buildings, walls, graveyards, statuary, gardens. 
In honor of Beatrix Potter, of course! 
ARE WE THERE YET?
