What this sheet is for
See a whole trip on one page instead of in six confirmation emails, so the day you have double-booked shows up before you leave rather than on the morning.
Who it is for
Anyone planning a trip with more than two moves in it — city breaks, touring holidays, family visits, and trips planned for other people.
How to use it
- Write one line for each day of the trip, in order, before anything is booked.
- Fill in travel times as you confirm them, in your own hand.
- Tick booked only once it is paid for and you have the reference.
- Keep the notes column for the things that are not bookings: who is meeting you, what closes when.
- Photograph the finished sheet and leave a copy with someone at home.
What is on the sheet
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: One line per day of a trip: where you are, how you get there, what is planned, and whether it is booked — with the times left blank for you to write.
Your times, written in as you book. No times are printed on this sheet. Departure times, opening hours and how long anything takes depend entirely on where you are going and what you have booked, so write your own in as you confirm them. What the sheet gives you is one place where the whole trip is visible at once.

Day by day — tick booked once it is paid for and confirmed
Table, 11 rows: Day · Date · Where you are · Travel — how and when · What is planned · Booked · Notes
Questions
Why are there no times printed on it?
Because they would be wrong. Departure times, opening hours and how long a journey actually takes depend on where you are going and what you booked, so the sheet leaves every time blank for you to write once it is confirmed.
How is this different from the Road Trip Planner?
The road trip sheet is built around driving: distance, hours at the wheel and where you sleep. This one does not assume a car, and gives the day itself more room — flights, trains, what is planned and what is booked.
