Trev here. Frequent Flyer/Cruiser/Coaster of the interwebs and Master Chef of Awesomesauce (note: always serve hot.) Anyway in between cooking up blog posts and rubbing shoulders with lady friends by the beach (or since it’s winter, up in a loft somewhere by a fireplace) I’m roaming the atmosphere from place to place and just this week, I had an epiphany: we both have something in common: flying…and the less glamorous planning for flying.

I was pretty stoked to find out about TripIt, which takes the hassle out of managing the paperwork of a typical trip. We all know how the high life leaves you with a lot of receipts (airline tickets, hotels, restaurants, maps, gold chains, beach balls…well at least the ones related to travel.)

So whether it’s maps, directions, weather or a bunch of other useful travel details, TripIt pulls in your itinerary (all you’ve got to do is email it to them and they automatically put up all your details on one easy-to-use page) So stay up to date on flight changes, check-in times, book restaurants, rent cars, theatre tickets, and share travel plans in groups online all in one snazzy little site.

Works for experienced travellers such as myself, regular patrons of the sky or newbies trying to keep it all together. Trev says tres cool.
