The digital age makes travel easier and more interactive than ever before. From an around-the-world cruise to a cross-country road trip, these apps make your journey simpler and even more memorable.

 

PackPoint Packing List Travel Companion

Overwhelmed by the packing? Always wait until the last minute? Overpack? Underpack? This app will keep you on track. Choose the destination, answer a few questions about your trip and it will create a checklist for you. It also cross-references the local weather during the days you’ll be there and allows you to share packing lists with other users.

Simply email your various confirmations — flight, hotel, car — to their central email and it will send you a completed itinerary with confirmation numbers, gate numbers, local time zone information and more. The app also allows you to check-in, access maps and synchronize events on your calendar. It will even cross-reference your location with your contacts on LinkedIn for potential networking.
