The Pleasure of Being Prepared While Everyone Else Is Struggling.
After years of traveling around the world for live performances, I’ve discovered little tricks that make flying easier, more comfortable, and less stressful. Here’s one of my favorites.
TE-007 — TripIt: My Go-To Travel App
One of my favorite travel tools is TripIt.
When you’re managing flights, hotels, rental cars, and multiple reservations, it’s easy to lose track of confirmation numbers and important details.
TripIt brings your reservations into one organized itinerary.
You can forward your confirmation emails to [email protected], and the app organizes supported reservations into your trip.
Instead of digging through emails, I can find my flights, hotels, car rentals, and itinerary in one place.
There is a free version, and TripIt Pro offers additional conveniences such as flight alerts, gate-change notifications, and other travel information.
Especially when you’re connecting through unfamiliar airports, having everything organized is a pleasure.
Travel Envy: While other travelers are searching through emails and juggling reservation numbers, you’ve got your itinerary at your fingertips.

The Pleasure of Being Prepared
After all these years of traveling, I’ve learned that great travel experiences aren’t necessarily about how much money you spend.
They’re about making smart choices that let you relax and enjoy yourself.
Good food. Everything organized. No frantic searching. No unnecessary stress.
And maybe a few fellow passengers looking over and wishing they’d thought of it first!
That’s Travel Envy.
