Thanks for the tip about using Backpack in this way. After you've sorted out where you want to go and are ready to book tickets, you might be interested in using TripIt to help you keep all the details from various booking sites in one place. (Disclosure: I happen to work for TripIt.) In any event, happy travels! Hi Bruce, this is a helpful post. Thanks for the tip about using Backpack in this way.

Have been using backpack calendar where each team member entered his flight information (we all use different flights at different times). Hopefully I will find much more to do with backpack while ON the trip, since there is not much ahead-planning about where we will be staying, etc. Good to hear that other people find backpack usable for this purpose, could be nice if campfire (also appropriate name) was somehow integrated into backpack. Especially when there are multiple people involved in the planning and coordination. Maybe it will be, in the future.

PlanetEye is creating a new kind of travel guide focused on helping people decide where they want to travel using beautiful photographs, mapping technology and insight from real travelers. It would be great if we could get you on the private beta to get your insight into how we can do things right. Let me know if you're interested. cheers, Mark Bruce,
