Trip Planning
How many times have you tried to plan a multi-day trip, trying to capture all events, the associated reservations, schedules, and locations together that you can easily access anywhere? Sure, you can scribble confirmation numbers, hotel addresses, and flight numbers on a piece of paper. But what if you could put together an itinerary, of all important travel info, including dates, flight info, hotel/event locations, confirmation numbers, maps and contact info all in one spot? You can!
TripIt is a great web tool that can do just this. Set up a trip with the dates of travel, and then begin loading pertinent info for each date. Tripit will also automatically load reservations, flight info and events info directly from emails sent to your Tripit account. For those of you with smart phones, Tripit has an app that will allow you to access all this info from your phone too.
Tripit will also allow you to "share" your plans with others. So no need to print out itineraries for spouses, friends or coworkers. Just add them to the "share trip" email listing, and they will have access to your trip itinerary!
Next time you are traveling give it a try! TripIt
Travel Reservations
Most of us use popular travel search tools to find the best deals on flights, hotels, and vacation packages, hoping to get the best deals. Sights like Travelocity, Orbits, and Expedia have been the tools of choice... until now.
A new travel tool with a proprietary search engine is now available! Rovia provides you with a travel tool to make not only flight, hotel and car reservations, but also cruise, all inclusive packages, villas/condos and and even group packages. The best part is, Rovia search results end up with rates usually better than the common search services! The site includes additional features such as info on weather, currency and travel documents required for your trip, and even a built in planner. If you become a Preferred Customer (free) you'll also receive $200k in flight insurance (on booked flights), special last minute deals and specials, and 30 minutes of Concierge Service, which can help you make your trip the best ever.
There you go, a couple great tools for your travel planning. I have used both, and would be more than happy to help you with either of these tools. Feel free to contact me directly if you would like more information.
