We are off to Italy in two weeks and I am putting together my itinerary notes. I did all the bookings in February. For each trip I write a detailed itinerary with all the info for flights, car rental, accommodations. My fear is that someday, on a trip, I will completely space out and forget where I am and who I am - so this itinerary which I print out (a copy for me, a copy for Steve, an extra in my carryon) and put in the cloud (in OneNote with all my other travel information for the trip) will save me if that every happens.
Writing the itinerary gives me a chance to check all the bookings and once it is done, Steve and I go through it together and compare my booking info with the itinerary (because a few years ago I booked a hotel for the wrong date and we only found out when standing at a locked gate in France).
I compared my AutoEurope car rental rate and was surprised to see it was similar to the rate we got last year but that was for 3 weeks and this trip is 2 weeks. So I checked the prices and today's price was almost 50% lower!!! I cancelled the earlier booking and rebooked.
