In reply to Steve. You can tell a lot about your perceptions of a place by the things you feel you'll miss right before you leave and the things you're looking forward to at your next destination. It is, as you note, interesting and enlightening to look at the transition of an entire stay.

I think this is a good idea. I’ve often reflected on my time traveling somewhere and I notice that the best time to do this is when you are leaving. The place is still fresh in your mind. It is also interesting to note your impression of the place as you are arriving versus the impression you have as you are leaving.

In reply to Cate. Haven't though to do that with the pictures I've taken, I'll give it shot to see the transition.

Blogging and photography are good for first and last impressions. I sift through my pictures and notice the differences from my first day in a new place to my last day there. Often I’m more relaxed or comfortable being around the people and my perspective changes. Slowing down can help, but sometimes it doesn’t.

In reply to Gourmantic. One of the reasons I always keep pen and paper handy before bed, seems to be a creative peak time for the mind :)
