replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A1 Depends entirely on the length/complexity of the trip. I always make any reservations I know I need/want long in advance, and do research so I have a general idea of what I want to do, but aside from a few fixed elements I like to play things by ear. #PTTravel

@kate_frankie A3: I didn't use many tools at the beginning. Till a few years ago I still used to handwrite to combine flights. π
Now I usually just write a simple recap of the itinerary.
Then I keep everything in 3 copies: paper, local storage and server.
