In a previous post I mentioned about using google calendar to arrange your itinerary. Another useful tool is google maps. With custom maps I like to first mark off the cities I'd like to travel to, then research how to get there (train, plane, driving) along with costs, timetables, directions. This is especially necessary if you rely on public transportation, and need exact change or bus routes, and don't want to wait all day for a bus.
On my vegas trip, I found a bunch of cool places I wanted to visit (Zion National Park, Monument Valley, Antelope canyon, Flagstaff, Grand Canyon) I marked it on a map, and that helped me figure out driving distances, where I s
hould stay, what roads, even side attractions that were on the way.Once in the city if there is a lot to do mark off the locations so you can concentrate specific days to seeing sites in a close geographic location. I also like to make notes on how to get in between those spots if there is a close metro to avoid walking so much.
Then, I can just print it out and bring it with me.
