Year at a Glance – August 2010

5

The winter months here at Journey Jottings are some of our busiest months when it comes to supplying retailers, as this is the prime travelling season for visitors to explore northern Australia.

The weather in the Top End and the Kimberley region is uncomfortably hot and humid during the summer months (November ~ March), not to mention the monsoonal rains that cut swathes of the country off as rivers flood, and makes roads impassable ~ That is the Wet season up in the tropical north.

The winter (April ~ October), on the other hand is the Dry season and is therefore the optimum time to explore this area while the weather offers sunny, blue sky days with comfortable cool evenings. Its a win:win scenario for both escaping the southern cold winter, while holidaying in a stunningly beautiful scenic area with a perfect climate ;)

The highlight for this month therefore has to be the Kimberley region Map Magnet literally flying out the door to supply all those lucky travellers touring the gorgeous Kimberley region.

 At the end of each month I enter a Journey Jottings highlight on a Map Journal so at year’s end I’ll have 2010 simply summarized on a single sheet ~ The image above is August’s entry.

In July it was announced that Journey Jottings was a finalist in the Australian Home-Based Business Awards.

On 30th July I flew to Melbourne where I was presented with my Award by the Victorian State  Minister for Small Business the Honorable Joe Helper MP.

If someone asked you

“What does Journey Jottings do?”

What would you say?

I came across a blog-post a few weeks ago that with community input (992 comments to date!) is nutting out the answer to this question to come up with a few pertinent words that conveys in a nutshell what each participant does  ~ The outcome is their *sharewords*

Visions, missions, goals and tag lines are all proffered to build up a picture that is then whittled back down to  4 or 5 words that encapsulates their essence!

So, what do we do?

We *highlight your holiday adventures*

June 2010

We believe memories from holidays and short breaks deserve just as much attention as those from a major trek ~ Its not the length that matters, its what you do with it ;)
And when it comes to jotting those few notes that will jog the memory when nostalgia strikes, I advocate the shorter the better (Check out my *Best Kept Travel Secrets*for some pointers there!)We exist so when your annual holiday would otherwise be but a distant memory, you’ll have a visual keepsake! We do what we do so, for those who can’t imagine keeping a journal for a non-journeying holiday, you can now arrow in where you went on a hand drawn pictorial map and jot memorable moments in the surrounds, so this year’s holiday will be simply summarized on a single sheet for future reminiscing!

Have you highlighted your holiday adventures? :D
