Traveling just got easier thanks to the iPad. Here's how:

Download TripIt for iPad from the iTunes App Store.
Sign up for (or sign into) an account from the app.
When you book a flight, hotel, or rental car and receive a confirmation e-mail, forward it to plans@tripit.com. TripIt will then create an itinerary.
Fire up the TripIt iPad app and tap on the created Itinerary. In our case, TripIt listed our flight info for a trip to San Francisco, along with lodging information, including the hotel phone number and the confirmation number.
