ON THE ROAD AGAIN

Keeping local hotel info ever accessible

When I travel, I often need fast access to my hotel information. As soon as I know where I will be staying, I make a special temporary entry in my PHONE book. Also, I find it convenient to have all my travel information available in one place. I store that additional information in the Note field of that temporary entry.

ON THE PALMTOP: In PHONE book's Name field, I start with an empty space so the entry appears at the top of the list then it's easy to access and easy to delete. I then put in the Name field, the reason for travel and the hotel. I enter the address, phone, and fax in the appropriate fields. That way, the hotel shows up on my index view along with phone and fax information. In the Note field, I enter other travel information, such as flight information, rent-a-car name and confirmation number.

If I want to get the additional travel information stored in the special entry's Note field, I press (Fn)-(<LeftArrow>) to go to the top of my phone list where the temporary hotel entry is, and then press (F3), Note.
