<br />
I purchased a plastic, expandable folder with 10 slots, then labeled each with one day/date of the trip. Into each day's section went everything we needed: maps, directions, confirmation numbers, hours and costs of museums and attractions, etc. <br />
<br />
If we ran into a delay or found ourselves a day ahead of schedule, it was easy to move the pile to a new slot. <br />
<br />
Bonus: Receipts and <a href="http://www.gadling.com/search/?q=souvenirs">souvenirs</a> readily replace used maps and directions, ready to remember a great trip!<br />
