TripIt is travel site I have been using for the past few months. I’m not sure exactly how I found it, but I’m glad I did. Tripit describes itself as a “travel assistant.” It works by e-mailing the confirmation e-mails from flights, car rentals, and hotels to plans@tripit.com. You are then presented with the information imported in a clean looking itinerary with all the information imported, weather updates, and maps. You can add other items such as meetings, activities, restaurant reservations, and directions to the itinerary if needed, and you the itinerary can be exported to any calendar that supports the iCal format. The itinerary can also be printed out, and includes Google Maps for both the area you’re visiting as well as all the driving directions for the trip in a nice, clean layout.
