 i agree that the internet

 i agree that the internet blog is just the medium she uses to share her experiences with the world: it seems to make your experiences come alive. i really like the formatting of the blog, the juxtaposition between the words and images really do help readers see what you are experiencing and doing. 

i think what differentiates blogging and merely journaling is that it is a much practical way for documenting events, when one is traveling. i think being able to refer to pictures as you blog, not only "captures the moment" on paper, but can help you better remember your experiences. Personally, I feel that I would rather "blog" than "journal", not merely because i find myself more tech-savvy and computer oriented, but i find that blogging would come more naturally. Also, usually when I document my travel experiences I want others to see what i saw, and to be able to share my experiences with others. While it would seem impractical to share my journal entries with everyone, it would be natural for me to share my thoughts and experiences with others via an interactive medium such as blogging!
