The organization of a holiday can often be so stressful that it sometimes takes away the enjoyment of traveling. But with a few mobile apps, much of this stress can be quickly solved. Here are some of the best travel apps for before, during and after a vacation that will guarantee you won’t forget to pack that extra pair of socks, help you find the cheapest flight, or even help ward off the post-travel blues.

Get ready

Kayak

Kayak provides a one-stop-shop for all your hotel, flight, transportation and organization needs. It not only consolidates hundreds of travel sites into one, but it also contains the best current deals for you to compare, and even offers a flight tracker(动态) and traveling management.

Packing Pro

Packing Pro is a must have for the modern day traveler — particularly for those who have a habit of packing at the very last minute, forgetting something important. All you need to do is tell it where you’re going and how long for and it will create a detail list of the things you should take. It sorts the items into various groups and lists them in order of importance.

It even creates suggestions for other family members and it works as a perfect checklist while traveling to ensure you don’t lose anything along the way.

Be informed

Around Me

Around Me locates your position and will show you any nearby points of interest. Feeling hungry? Simply click on the restaurants function and it will show you all your nearby choices. You can even book a hotel or find the movie schedule of a nearby theater.

As the world’s most used local search application and with more than 10 different languages, including Chinese, this app must be doing something right.

Manage memories

Trip Journal

Rather than having to take a heavy paper journal, Trip Journal allows you to keep your travel memories including all the chaos and excitement. The app was awarded No 1 Travel Application by Google and in 2011 was a finalist in the travel category of the Best App Ever awards. The smart app allows you to record your holiday experiences and share them with friends and family through social media. You can track and record your travel routes, photos, videos, blog entries, and even data such as distance, time and geography traveled.
