✈️ Book the Trip
The first things I’d sort out before a trip: comparing flights, figuring out where to stay, and getting the main bookings out of the way before the travel dates get closer.
A handy place to compare flights, hotels, rental cars, and vacation options in one spot. I’d check here early when planning a trip so I can compare the main details before locking anything in.
Expedia, Inc.
I’d check here when I’m comparing places to stay, especially when I want to look at different hotel options, locations, and reviews before booking.
Booking.com
I’d check here before a trip to see what other travelers are saying about hotels, restaurants, attractions, and things to do. It’s useful for narrowing down the places that are actually worth adding to the itinerary.

🔌 Travel Tech
The tech I’d sort out before leaving, from keeping devices charged and luggage trackable to making flights and hotel stays a little easier. Small gadgets, fewer charging headaches. ✈️🔌
One of those little travel gadgets that makes a surprisingly big difference on a flight. It lets you use your own Bluetooth headphones with compatible in-flight entertainment systems instead of relying on the airline’s headphones.

The kind of thing you really want to sort out before the trip, not after you land. A universal adapter keeps different plug types from becoming a problem when you’re charging your phone, laptop, watch, or other travel tech.
