Pack Your Suitcase Online
Posted on March 25, 2008
If you are like me you start planning your trip WAY in advance. And, if you are like most frequent travelers, you plan the majority of that trip online. If so, here is a handy website/online tool that will take your trip planning to a whole new level, Suitcase. This free online tool is powered by Kaboodle and is hosted by www.concierge.com, Condé Nast Traveler’s travel website.
Suitcase is billed by Concierge.com as “The Ultimate Trip Planning Tool” and I have to say, I agree. The Suitcase tool lets you collect all the trip information you need from hotels to transportation details and saves it all in one place online so that it is accessible from any computer that has Internet access. Here is how it works:
- Fill your Suitcase with items from Concierge.com or anywhere on the Web – whether it’s a trip you’re planning or just dreaming about.
- Organize your saved items into a day–by–day itinerary.
- Invite friends to help build your Suitcase – or make it public so others can see it.
- Browse other Suitcases to see where other Concierge.com members are traveling.
I can’t decide what part of this new tool I like best, allowing my friends to add to my Suitcase or browsing other people’s Suitcases. This tool really opens up a whole new world of trip planning. Think of it as the FaceBook for traveling adults. Before long you will begin to meet new “virtual” traveling companions who you can share ideas and must-sees.
One important tip, take the time to install the Suitcase Toolbar on your computer. The site will give you instructions on how to do this. This will allow you to save a website to your appropriate Suitcase at the click of a mouse.
For more information and details on this handy travel tool go to http://suitcase.concierge.com. While you’re there type in a search for MedjetAssist and you will see the link to my New York Suitcase where I have started collecting information and reference sites for my favorite “Big City” in the world. And hey, if you have any ideas or comments about your favorite places in Gotham please post them for me.
