The five parts of a trip

Why five
Everything about a trip lives in one of five places, so there is only ever one sensible place to look.
Overview
Your starting point. It shows the stage the trip is in, what still needs doing, and a shortcut straight to it. When you are away, it shows today.
Plan
Dates, the day-by-day itinerary, places to eat and see, the map, and the destination guide. If it answers what are we doing and when, it is here.
Organise
Tasks, documents, links, packing. If it answers what needs sorting before we go, it is here.
Money
Add expenses, see what you paid, what you owe or are owed, and use Settle Up to square things away.
Memories
Photos, followers and the guestbook, and the trip summary you keep afterwards.
Getting between them
On a phone the five sit along the bottom of the trip. On a larger screen they run across the top. The trip remembers where you were, so coming back drops you in the same place.
