I used Evernote for my last trip– to an academic conference in Savannah. I collected in my Evernote desktop app (on my mac) all my travel confirmations (hotel and flight) and as I found places I wanted to see in Savannah (restaurants, sights etc.) I clip their website into Evernote. I also saved all the conference schedules and info in there as well.

I also use Google Maps for traveling. I make a specific map for my trip someplace. I printed this and all it’s info (hotel, sights etc.) to pdf and also added it to Evernote.

Now here’s the difference. I have an iPod Touch (not constant internet access like the iphone). So, before I left, I went through my trip info in Evernote on my Touch, and “starred” all the pertinent trip info– therefore saving it right to my Touch for easy access anywhere.

A big plus of being a tourist someplace with an iphone/ipod touch and Evernote is that you don’t look like a tourist with a map! Yay!

I’ve been a Getting Things Done devotee for about 3 years, and a Palm user for about 10 years. Between the ubiquity of my Treo and the efficiency of GTD, I feel like I’m pretty well set.

The only exception is that it would be nice to make use of the internet at any computer I’m at to quickly and easily make notes to myself. I understand Evernote does this. But I worry trying and using Evernote will just confuse and complicate the Palm / GTD system that’s been humming along well for me over the last few years.

Thanks!
Peter

I really love everything that is paperless, So I always bring my flash drive in everywhere I go.

Using Evernote more extensively for a trip is really a refreshing idea. I feel that my blogging custom influences the way I use Evernote: it’s more like a private blog, like a diary, for me. Making it more useful and more directed into the future is a good point; thank you, Marie!

I haven’t quite got the hang of it either. I get how to plan a trip, or the wine folder or book or whatever.

What I don’t get is how to use it for GTD and To Do lists. Haven’t got a clue how that works.

Haven’t yet gotten the hang of “Evernote” but I’m going to Costa Rica next week, and going to try and utilize it just as MK did.

I never thought about using Evernote for traveling. I actually have an upcoming trip with my wife, and I’m going to have to try this idea!

I currently use Evernote to manage all the information that flows through my law firm. It’s a great way to keep track of phone calls, notes about clients, research, etc. I’d be lost without it!

I just had to comment: the thing that stands out most in the picture is the bottle of V. Sattui Madeira.

Using PDF maps is a great idea!
