Manage your holiday
The secret to getting an enjoyable holiday is careful planning. You don't want to go on a vacation to find out that your hotel is not booked, or your transport to Disneyland didn't show up because you forgot to confirm your trip. If a PDA can help you organise your life, then with the right software, it can also help you plan and organise your holiday.
If you need something on your Palm that can help you handle every detail of your hotel, rental car, and flight reservations, check out Gulliver. Another application worth checking out is TravelTracker. In addition to keeping track of your itinerary, these programs allow you to link to your Address Book and Date Book so that you have the information you need, at your fingertips.
If you're using the Pocket PC, you can use Pocket Outlook to manage your tour schedule. However, you may want to grab Pocket Informant to give your handheld an improved interface so that you can keep track of your itinerary more effectively.
When it comes to planning your trip, one of the most useful tools to have is a checklist. With it, you can create an inventory of what you need to bring on your trip, places you'd like to visit, and even a list of what souvenirs to buy back for your pals back home. With a PDA, you can hold all your checklists in one place without having to deal with scraps of paper. Palm users can check out Mobile Checklist Lite while Pocket PC users can try Checklist for Pocket PCs.
