The family vacation is a rite of passage, whether it’s that first big trip to your child’s dream amusement park, a weekend camping trip, or a European tour. If you’re the one walking around with camcorder in one hand, camera around your neck and backup cell phone camera in the other hand, you’ll love what Visa’s Memory Mapper application on Facebook will do for your family’s travel memories.

The best part is that it’s user friendly, so you can create a travel chronicle masterpiece before your toddler’s naptime is over. Forget about the home movies you were subjected to as a kid that bored you to tears. Memory Mapper lets you upload your photos and video files, add your choice of songs and input the address of where each photo or video was taken so it can add Google Maps satellite technology to the finished product. Once you’ve created a clip worthy of the Travel Channel, you can share it with your friends on Facebook (they’ll “Like” it, for sure), or email it to the grandparents.

Even better, Visa cardholders who make a purchase with their cards from now through October 31 will be entered for a chance to win $100,000 to embark on their trip of a lifetime. That buys a lot of souvenirs!

Visit www.facebook.com/visa and try out Visa Memory Mapper for yourself.
