Handy Trip Organizer

Mark Dixon's weblog is one of my most regularly monitored blog. In his recent posts, he pointed to Tripit which is an automatic online trip organizer that conglomerates all the information from your email itineraries and generates a single trip summary. All you need to do is register and keep forwarding your email confirmations and itineraries to plans@tripit.com and rest is taken care of. This is particularly helpful when you have booked flight tickets, hotel and car, all from different websites. The final consolidated trip summary you receive from tripit also contains - weather forecasts, map information and driving directions. Best part of this service is that you can view your trips from your mobile handheld through the mobile site. You can always sync your outlook calendar to your mobile but this product makes it much easier to get to your trip plans all at one place!

Tulips in "Holland"

Enjoy the Tulips in the picture taken with my iPhone on a rainy day
trip to the Dutch village in Holland, MI. Typically Tulips bloom
around end of April and start of May which is a good time to visit.
Entry fee to the garden is $7 and $12 for the Dutch village.
