Transcribing diaries from a 66 year period

I spent some of my day sorting and cataloguing the travel diaries left in the family archives. I have always wanted to do something with these fascinating, historical documents but haven't, as yet, work out exactly what. I have transcribed most of the ones up to 1920 and have done a bit of further work on the earlier ones, as demonstrated in my last post which was about the bathing the children did in their holidays. I haven't decided exactly what I want to do with the rest of the collection. One of the first steps will be to transcribe all of them but I do wonder that this would be better done in stages. But then what? How do I use them as a creative project. One of my long held dreams is to use them as travel guides. This is impractical in so many senses as I don't have the funds nor the time to go to, say, Grenoble and Florence for six months and learn French! I do, however, have shorter periods of time available and one of the early trips that has piqued my interest is the Cathedral/Motor tour that Anne and Winifred had with Aunt Di in 1910. The trip for Winifred started on 12 August 1910 from Aunt Di's home in Wimbledon and the first overnight stop was at Oxford where they stayed for three nights and visited many churches and universities. They then motored through Oxfordshire to Banbury (for cakes) to Warwick where they met with Anne who would join them for the rest of the journey. Tuesday 16 August was 'the most lovely day sightseeing" where they explored Kenilworth and the after lunch motored to Stratford to explore Shakespeare's country and Winifred commented rhapsodically that with "A quickened pulse and a palpating heart that I was at length realizing one of the long cherished ambitions of my life - I was in Shakespeare's country." After exploring Warwick Castle neighbouring St. Mary's Church it was time to get in the motor again and take a quick look at Leycester's Hospital before heading to Worcester via Stratford. The next five days follow the same kind of pattern with the girls being driven around picturesque countryside stopping at interesting places and taking time to explore churches and cathedrals including Worcester Cathedral, Tewkesbury Abbey, Hereford Cathedral, Gloucester Cathedral and Cirencester Abbey. The whole trip stretched over ten days and these days, in cars that travel significantly faster than those in 1910, it would be an easier trip. Were I to do it, however, I would like to do it over the ten days. It is just a matter of finding the time and finances. As well as being a writer, I am, of course, a public speaker and I wonder that I might be able to work that into the trip. There is a lot to think about but if I were to have the Aunts as my travel guides then I think that this would be the trip I would do. Maybe I need to stop thinking about it and to just go ahead and do it!
