What happens in Vegas should stay there. For all else, there's Backpacker's Diary, which mimics the traditional paper book, providing travel enthusiasts various tools and types of information on each "page," including media recording and maps.

Other pages in the diary encourage travelers to keep a journal of their traveling experiences, and to share them with others.
