This is definitely a feminine travel album. Each page is BEAUTIFULLY decorated with designs around the edges (painted flowers, leaves, etc), but is not fussy or cluttered. There are thick, quality, gold-lined pages which include:Two pages for travel itineraryOne Page for Hotels and One for RestuarantsTwo pages for places to rememberThree pages for travel notesOne page for museums and eventsOne pages for points of special interestOne page for fond memoriesOne page for Names and Addresses.There is a lovely painting near the beginning of the book and one at the start of the photo section (looks like a venice scene in soft colors). Then there are seven pages for photos. Each is decorated on both sides and can have two pictures slipped into it. The pages make gorgeous "frames" and all sorts of romantic flowers around the photo slots (some slots are oval, some square, and I think all will hold a 4X6 photo). Finally, the album closes with a ribbon tie and comes in a matching box.I wouldn't suggest using this album on your trip (it's SO nice!). What I plan to do is keep a comprehensive journal while traveling. Then I'll come home and pick the best parts of my journal, along with my best photos, and create an album full of memories. Since my mother is also going on our trip, I bought a journal for her and plan to fill it in and give it as a gift.Based on this book alone, I would recommend any journal/album by Nancy C. Akmon and Roni Akmon. If you absolutely cannot stand the colors orange and brick red, you might want to think twice about this piece. The cover has minimal orange, but the back is a funny pattern of orange and red. It doesn't come close to the romantic interior, but the interior made the purchase well worth it for me.
