For those who do the travel log reports/is it better to use a tape recorder and write when you return or jot notes as you go?

I carry a little 5X7 size legal pad and make notes through out the trip. Then, that jogs what's left of my memory when I get home to do the report.For those who do the travel log reports/is it better to use a tape recorder and write when you return or jot notes as you go?( If I answered my own question---BOTH?)
A good approach on longer trips is to keep a journal on a daily basis. During the day, I take notes on a small pad that fits in my shirt pocket. Then last thing at night before sleep, I write up a full account of the day, while the impressions are fresh, and referring to all of the notes as reminders of details or miscellaneous topics of interest. The daily review makes for a relaxing routine, as well.Anyway, a notebook is good for just jotting down the small notes and such. Easier to reference than other methods.
I think it probably depends in part on how your brain happens to work, which is something you can probably answer better than the rest of us.For those who do the travel log reports/is it better to use a tape recorder and write when you return or jot notes as you go?
