If she has a hand written and bound diary and you don't mind razoring the pages apart, the pages could be scanned. The scanned pages could be saved as a word document. Then the whole mess can be saved on a stick. The stick can travel with Tip. We could post how to use the stick to read it AND to add to the adventure.

I have a scanner and a stick is just a few dollars (stick is less than 2 inches long, 1/4 in wide and an 1/8 in deep - isn't technology wonderful!). With enough gigs, the pictures can be stored on the stick too. How many pages is the journal? If you don't want to razor the journal apart (and I wouldn't blame you if you didn't), someone could copy the pages one by one. Someone or I could scan and download onto the memory stick.

Someone else may have a better idea. I am only throwing the stick idea out there because obviously, everyone Tip is visiting has a computer or else they wouldn't be in our online group.
