I'm currently preparing for our trip this summer and putting together my travel Filofax! In the past when I've traveled I used a personal size Filofax. But this time I'm going with my A5 Heritage Filofax, with its stripped-down design and slim 16 mm rings (see Steve's review of the A5 Heritage here).
So far in my travel Filo I have my packing list and list of things to do before I go. I'm also bringing notes on things to see and do at our destination, contact information, and of course a map!
Before I go I'll add some blank pages for journaling, and a transparent envelope to keep tickets and small papers.
Do you take your Filofax with you when traveling? What do you put in your travel Filo?
And as always on Fridays, feel free to ask and/ or discuss anything ring binder organizer related!
Depends on where we go. Inside the US, take it. Internationally, nope. I bring a notebook.
ReplyDeleteI lost a Slimline in the airport once when I was distracted by my 2 year-old. I know, I know, I was the once that should have been distracting him. So keep your planner on a leash. Forgive the formatting but can anyone add to my list of possible inserts?

Wow this is amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteGenerally yes my A5 travels with me on longer trips. I have my packing lists which have a 'Things to do before I go' list on the reverse side, these are available in the files area of Philofaxy.
ReplyDeleteAny documents I need I also print off and punch, less chance of them going missing.
I use my Filofax Travel wallet which has the facility of holding personal size pages or slightly modified A5 sheets in it too. I carry all my tickets, passport etc in this. It slips in to the long deep pocket of my outer jacket or the document pocket of my case.
I like a routine when I'm travelling otherwise I end in a panic not knowing where things are.
