What are some unique travel ideas?
I am about to go traveling in Europe with my parents, brother and family. We will be traveling via touring company by a boat on the Danube River. (Hungary, Vienna, and Budapest) I am just trying to think some ways the trip can be more memorable. For example in the past I have kept a journal…has anyone done anything different that really captured the moment? I am just looking for a new idea?
A journal is a good idea. I still have a journal of my trip around Europe from 10 years ago. I still keep stories from all my trips. One thing to do though is make some type of a game out of it. One time me and a friend went on holidays in Dubai and we played this game where we came up with stupid challenges that we both had to do. I will never forget that trip. You know you can make each other try some wierd Austrian sausage (some of them can be scary), or learn a weird phrase in hungarian and each have go up to someone and say it. You want to have memories that you can all get together and laugh about in 10 years. Also try to do normal things. Not just be tourists. Get out of the tourist area and grade a beer at the cornerstore and sit in a park and hang with the locals. Go to local looking restuarants with no English menu, take public transit (that's fun in Budapest).

On a recent trip to Budapest I kept a journal, and when I came back home I started a scrapbook from the trip and I included the actual journal entries. It is pretty funny to read what I was thinking at each place we visited and how I did or didn't adapt to the culture.
