I put together a day by day itinerary on tripit.com. Kayak also offers a similar service but I like the layout of the itinerary generated by Trip It better.
It auto-populates your flights, hotels and car rentals if you forward the emails confirming those reservations.
From there, you can fill in details on day tours, guides, restaurants, whatever.
But I put in details in case I want to see something or am able to see something.
For instance, I had details about going up to Jungfrau and the Matterhorn for a trip to Switzerland. Those are pretty costly trips. I didn't end up going on either because the weather wasn't clear during the days I was near those attractions.
But I had details like how much they were, the hours they operate, how long it took to go up and return, etc. summarized in my itinerary so that I could retrieve those details easily.
Sure I could Google that info again but I just got the essential practical details handy.
On the trip, I will consult the itinerary the night before or on the morning of and depending on what the weather is going to be like, I can choose what to do for a given date.
When I was planning the trip, I found websites with suggestions for what to do in bad weather, since that can happen in that part of the world. I didn't note these details. Even when it was raining, I tried to get out and walk around somewhere for a bit, though obviously not as much as if it was dry.
Good idea, I might try to copy this in the future. I knew from the two Swiss ladies in my bridge club that the weather is unpredictable in Switzerland and had a rough idea what to do if the weather didn’t cooperate. It turned out we ha nothing but good weather in the whole time in not Switzerland but our two months in Europe.
