Best iphone app
- Packing pro best by far. I can have packing lists for camping or going overseas or for work or whatever all saved for the next time I need it.

Foursquare
- I use Foursquare to explore specials and recommandations nearby. Always a good way to find the nearest cup of coffee or a place to stay for the night.

It Happened Here
- I like It Happened Here. Doesn't provide any help with bookings but once you're there, it tells you interesting things that have happened around you -- historical, movie scenes, famous crimes, etc. Only available for a few cities, but cool and makes me seem smart.

flook - free iPhone travel app
- flook is a local search and discovery tool. It lets you can discover places to go, things to do, restaurants and bars, local secrets, events - all the coolest things around you. flook shows a stream of full screen cards that you can simply swipe though, rather like an ultra-local "What's On" magazine.

Tuscany+
- This is a free i-phone app called Tuscany+ - it's in augmented reality and gives hotels-restaurants-museums and clubs or pubs where to go out at night! all you have to do is download-walk down the street and wait for those useful balloons to pop-up in front of you! here's the video that explains what it's all about! http://ow.ly/1Ku9S

My Vacation
- My Vacation allows you to create a travel journal all on your iPhone. Featured by Apple last month. There is now a Lite version too!

Packing Pro
- Packing Pro is more than just a digital packing list. It's more like a personal packing assistant that is always by your side. It features an extensive, customizable catalog, several handy sample lists that can be used as templates, and unlimited, 100% customizable packing lists. A plethora of special functions include: * numerous packing list sorting & display options * collapsable categories with running item tallies * weight and value totals * multi-item selection for speedy list building * send to email * import / export to other Packing apps and devices * recovery of deleted lists and categories * extensive in-app instrutions Packing Pro also gives its users complete control over the design of the app (themes, layout, font, colors), twice as many sample lists, an expanded Master Catalog, and an Expert packing list that can "automajically" help you create a customized list. If you love to travel, then don't forget to pack!

Fring for iPhone--for texting and calls
- Use Fring for iPhone--it is much easier than using a phone or unlocking and it has the country codes built in. After trying to use the phone for direct calls either solo or with calling card codes, Fring worked much more reliably. In addition, AT&T's international data plan for iPhones does not include texting so if you want to text internationally, Fring beats AT&T's 50 cents per text fees and the text notice pops up on your iPhone.

Another travel iphone app
- I like Shooger for finding deals when I travel. US only, but especially helpful since it's paperless and local.
