A vacation to the Bahamas can be a once in a lifetime experience. To rekindle the beauty and joy of the trip, create a scrapbook. Scrapbooks can contain pictures, ticket stubs, postcards and, most importantly, journal entries that explain the context of the pictures to help jog your memory as the years pass.
Combine with a Cruise
Since scrapbook pages often collect dust while your memory fades, consider a cruise to the Bahamas designed with scrapbooking in mind. Scrapbook cruises to the Bahamas let you snorkel by day and scrapbook at night. You can win prizes for your creativity in scrapbooking. The cruise lasts for three nights and the price includes all fees for the cruse, scrapbook supplies and scrapbook supplies, workshops and classes..

Save Your Memories
Decide if you want to use a leather-bound portfolio for your journal in which you place your pictures or if you want to use a specific scrapbook approach, such as Creative Memories. If you create a classic scrapbook, be sure to use acid-free paper and stock up on island emblems at your local scrapbook stores, such as palm trees, sunglasses, beach balls and sun stickers. You'll want to use these throughout the scrapbook to evoke a sense of the Bahamas and carry the theme through the pictures you're placing. You can also use tropical-themed die cuts -- sun umbrellas and pineapples -- to decorate the background on which you place your pictures.
Use a Service
If you know that your trip to the Bahamas is going to fade quickly from your memory, before you complete your scrapbook, you can hire a firm that specializes in creating scrapbooks. Be clear as to what level of detail you would like (there are different levels of pricing for each) and send the pictures along. Generation Scrap.com offers this service. The pages they create cost between $15 and $25 per page, depending on the total number of pages you need. The company offers many layout options.
