If you know me, you know that I love traveling, I enjoy visiting fun places, and I try to be as organized about all of this as I can. That’s why I use the wonderful Wanderlog to plan my trips, but since I don’t pay for the app’s premium sub, I have to manage my reservation documents separately. That’s why every trip gets a folder in Google Drive, and in there go all the PDF files for hotels, museums, expos, concerts, events, and other bookings I’ve planned during that trip.
That was until a few months ago, though. Google Wallet’s custom passes changed this for me. I was curious about it, then I saw my colleague Joe wax poetic about adding new reservations and passes into Wallet, and I decided to try it for myself on a couple of trips. The result was an unmitigated success and has become my favorite way of keeping reservations handy while traveling.
