Yahoo! Travel Trip Planner

YahooTripPlanner
I'm not surprised, but Yahoo's Travel Trip Planner is coming through for me. When I first started using it - it was great for schedule organization - but I never took full advantage of it. Now I've begun to do that and it's becoming extremely useful and dependable.

I love the schedule view because I'm able to see everything at a glance, and it's very well organized. I've also begun to use the address/phone/URL/description fields as I'm finding it indispensable to be able to go to one place (My Trip Planner) and find all the websites I use in relation to a location. I can also point anyone to this Trip Planner and they can see where we're going and stuff - great for family.

You can upload pictures (which of course links with Flickr) and there's also a trip journal too - where you can add the pictures to your posts. Though I'm keeping a journal here, I think I'll also keep a journal there (once the trip starts, until the trip ends) as perhaps it'll be able to help someone else who is planning a trip that's similar.

The only downfall? You can't use the driving directions (or Map View) for any place outside of the USA or Canada :(
