Plan Checker

Answer 5 quick questions. In about 3 minutes you get a day-by-day plan, a verdict on your draft, and a prioritized cut list — what is a must-do, and what to cut first.

Do this before you book that non-refundable room — not after.

The first person it told to cut something was me. It removed the Green Sand Beach from my own trip and showed that what I had planned for Maunakea collided with sunset.

12 cards, about 3 minutes
No missing a must-do because it sold out weeks ago
No “we drove the whole vacation”
Every rule cites its source

See what it checks →One-time $9. No account, no subscription, refundable for 30 days.

About these tools

Before you plan.

Are these itineraries I just follow?＋

No. They take the trip you are already planning and test it. Two people will not end up with the same week.

Who writes them?＋

One person who has planned and driven trips across most of the United States, and who has been to the places these tools cover. More about that.

How current is the information?＋

Every rule and drive time carries the date it was verified. Anything that could not be verified is labelled on screen rather than presented as settled.

Is anything here paid for by hotels or tours?＋

No. Nothing is sold on commission and no place paid to be included.
