For the last few years I have struggled with the best way to capture my travels and the places I want to remember. I don't mean the waxing poetic memories, but the practical aspects: locations, prices, room details, restaurants, tips & tricks learned on the road. I go from paper notes and business cards with the "One day I'll organize" it plan to the scattered applications of my iPhone: dropping pins on Google apps, specifics on Notepad, checking in with Gowalla and Foursquare, Twitter feeds to my blog, Uploading photos to Twitter and updating my blog (which I never do).
I think I may have found something that can work: Everlater. They have a free iPhone app, that mercifully works offline so that what I capture doesn't trigger bone rattling roaming fees, and it synchs up to my Everlater blog when I am on WiFi. I also just read that with Everlater, you can mirror the content, maps and POIs into any webpage or blog. So here goes!
I am off to Vancouver and Toronto next week ad will give it a whirl. Unfortunately, I will still have to double up with posting to Twitineraries of my Twavels, but I think I can live with that.

Bellyband across South America
I did this route because I didn't want to be flying south or north of Argentina and weaving all over just for the sake of ticking the POI boxes.
I prefer overland travel as I see more of the country and have the flexibility to linger or accelerate the ports of call.
Not another travel blog
Well, yes, actually. Not that I am proposing this will blow the socks off all the others out there, but it does capture the highlights of my various holiday and work trips, with a specific focus on the spots, corners and random morsels that I encounter outside of guidebooks. And because my memory is appalling, this also chronicles the location and prices of the hotels and restaurants I experienced so that I can tell friends and others as they plan their own trips.
