i told steph about my haiku plan. she got on board instantly, which has meant that we've written multiple haikus each day together.
that's a win for sure.
we also talked of it as a manageable way of having a travel diary.
and sorted out the idea of having a photo book of all cities visited (4 photos only - 1 page per city; allowing for multiple pages of the same city if traveled to about a year (or other substantial amount) apart).
So here are the ones we wrote at the airport(s)/on the plane(s):
