Develop and Share a Trip Itinerary
Yahoo! Trip Planner can help you organize an excursion and let you share your travel plans with others.
Type travel! into any Yahoo! Search form and you’ll find yourself at Yahoo! Travel (http://travel.yahoo.com): a one-stop shop for planning vacations or business trips. You can find flights, hotels, and rental cars. You can read reviews from other Yahoo! users and look for special travel deals.
Yahoo! Travel includes a feature called Trip Planner (http://travel.yahoo.com/trip) that can help you create a personalized travel guide that you can access at any time or share with others. Imagine you find yourself in charge of organizing a group trip for students; you could enter your itinerary into the Trip Planner and share it with students, parents, and teachers. Instead of printing and distributing pages of information, you can add everything at Yahoo! and pass around a URL for the itinerary. Even a smaller group going on a family vacation could benefit from having hotel, restaurant, and sightseeing details in one place.
