A friend of mine told me some months ago about TripIt.com. I made an account and never tried, but now I will have lot trips during one month and decided to give it a try. I am AMAZED !

• Enter your trip details
• Forward your trip confirmations received from your travel agent and he will parse this for you
• Send your confirmation to an email address and get it automatically imported
• See who else within your network you might meet during a certain trip
• Direct links to Online check-in where available, check flight status, weather and maps for your destination
• In the end you will have some statistics like “Days on the road”, “Distance Traveled”, “Cities Visited”

I will definitely use it!

The result is the like this:
