One of our favorite new travel blogs this year is from none other than the venerable news organization, the BBC.

Moleskine announces hybrid notebooks for the iPhone and iPad
Oct 1st, 2010 at 11:00AM:
After taking on the Amazon Kindle, Moleskine just announced an assortment of new notebooks designed for the Apple iPhone and iPad. The announcement only mentions the iPhone 3G and 3GS, so hopefully an iPhone 4 version won't be too far behind.
The new notebooks are designed to let you take full advantage of your digital device, and switch to paper notes when it suits you. Of course, with ...Moleskine Kindle cover with notebook merges the old with the new

Designed for the Amazon Kindle, this new Moleskine cover lets you join the eBook revolution, without saying farewell to old fashioned pen and paper. And yes - even though the Kindle offers a pretty decent notation and bookmark system, there is something comforting about making written notes about a book, even if said book is displayed on electronic ink.

Jun 29th, 2010 at 9:00AM:
In the past two decades, the high tech arsenal of the frequent traveler has gone through some major upgrades. What started with the brick phone, has evolved into a package of smartphone-digital-camera-socialmedia-netbook -3G equipment. On any given day, even the most amateur of travelers may be carrying over $1000 in high-tech gear. During one of my recent trips, I came to the realization that ...Use a pocket-sized notebook for maps & notes - International travel tip
Mar 23rd, 2010 at 2:30PM: Don't want to look like a lost tourist, consulting a giant map in a public place?
Before you leave home, buy a small pocket- or purse-sized notebook. Copy maps of each destination (break a city into smaller areas) and reduce them down to notebook size; glue them into your notebook, folding out if needed. Highlight important places, like your hotel, and include directions to/from airports or ...Make a scrapbook travel diary - International travel tip
Mar 11th, 2010 at 4:34PM: The worst part of getting home from an awesome vacation is figuring out what to do with all the papers, brochures, receipts, unique candy wrappers, news articles, postcards, and other things that have accumulated in your bags along the way. So next time, just bring some tape and scissors with you and paste those items in your diary or Moleskine as you travel.
It's a great way to pass time ...Save wine bottles (or at least the labels) - Souvenir tip
Mar 7th, 2010 at 11:31AM: Many people have a nice bottle of wine when they dine out on vacation. When you're on vacation, scan the wine list for locally produced wines or choose a bottle with the restaurant's label. Instead of packing the bottles to lug home, ship them home as you leave each city.
Alternatively, if you don't have room for the bottles, soak the labels off the bottle in your hotel room, let dry overnight ...Aspinal's Envelope-Wrap Journals
May 26th, 2007 at 9:26AM: You may love your steeped-in-history Moleskine travel journal.

Feb 22nd, 2007 at 7:00AM: When I visited Amsterdam, I bought a sketchbook, and while I was in the city, I shoved everything in there, from ticket stubs, to brochures, to notes about destinations. Although it wasn't a moleskin -- and wasn't anywhere near as pretty as some moleskins I've seen -- it served its purpose, and it's fun to look at now.
