Tripit is a free travel planning tool I’ve been trying recently. Any travel confirmation email you receive—for flights, hotels, rental cars, etc.—you forward to your Tripit account and it automatically organizes the information into a handy itinerary that you can access remotely. It’s a lot easier than copying and pasting text from confirmation emails into my calendar.
If you’re planning college visits, you don’t just need to keep track of your flights, hotels and ground transportation. You’ve also got maps of college campuses, tour reservation confirmations, parking directions and other college-related information to keep track of. Tripit seems to me to be perfect for this task. Forward all that information to your account and you’ll never have to look for it while you’re visiting.
