Planning a visit to Aruba or another romantic destination? These iPhone apps will help you plan your trip and find your way around when you arrive.

TripIt Travel Organizer - free

This power-packed app costs you nothing, and helps you plan your itinerary. Forward all your booking-related confirmation emails to one email address, and TripIt will organize them for you. Share your itinerary through Facebook and LinkedIn. TripIt has won numerous awards as one of the best travel apps and most popular iPhone apps. For frequent travelers, there's a pro version available for $49 per year which sends you notifications about airline savings and other status alerts.

KAYAK PRO - .99

KAYAK PRO allows you to compare prices on rental cars, hotels and flights as well as monitor your flight's status and get baggage fees ahead of time. You can book your hotel through KAYAK. KAYAK also gives you Hotwire and Priceline results.


iCruise - free

Planning a cruise? iCruise brings you detailed information on cruise deals, stateroom descriptions and even photos and deck plans for over 220 ships. It offers over 12,000 itineraries, cruise calendars and information on last-minute and holiday deals.

Frommer's Travel Tools - free

Frommer's Travel Tools helps you manage and find your way around when you've reached your destination. The tip calculator, currency converter and flashlight are handy tools, while the city guides help you find restaurants and hotels. There are even virtual postcards that allow you to add your own vacation photos and email them to friends, or send via Twitter and Facebook.

Weather+ - .99

The weather can make or break your trip. Use Weather+ to find forecasts for cities all over the world, weather video for your location, current conditions and a five-day forecast. If you're planning to be on the beach or hiking in the mountains, you can find information on wind direction and speed. Weather+ also features a world clock.

GPS Eat-Shop-Travel and More - 3.99

Although it's one of the pricier travel apps, GPS Eat-Shop-Travel and More is also one of the most valuable because it shows you medical offices, hospitals and pharmacies at your location as well as dining, shopping and entertainment venues. This app also helps you find gas stations, grocery stores and ATMs. It's well worth the 3.99 because the information you can find in an emergency situation is priceless.

There are, of course, many destination-specific apps for travelers, but these will help get you started planning your trip and assist you along the way.
