Day 1 — Shinjuku & Shibuya
Great itinerary building experience! Love the cost breakdown, restaurant recommendations, and packing suggestions. The map showing distances between stops is a great visual.
Very good product. It created a really nice itinerary, discovering attractions based on my interests. Map, hotel suggestions, estimated costs — all covered.
I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly I could go from having a very vague or open ended idea about what to do in the upcoming spring break to knowing exactly what I could be doing when and where and for approximately how much. It took the inertia and headache out of planning; like a concierge service but at my fingertips. Loved it!

Wanderlog builds the trip before you book; TripIt keeps track of what you booked. They overlap far less than the app-store search suggests. Where each one earns its subscription, and the gap both leave open.

TripIt's free tier turns confirmation emails into a clean trip timeline. Pro costs $49/year and adds the vigilance layer: flight alerts, seat tracking, fare monitoring. Who actually breaks even on it, and what TripIt leaves for other tools.

Fifteen escapes from DC, each with a verified one-way drive time, an honest all-in cost for two, and the month worth going. The closest sit within an hour; the Outer Banks and the Finger Lakes are long-weekend drives.
