I hope I could help:)

Hi Kataryzna,

Thank you for your explanation. What do you think does itinerary mean in the following sentence:

Unfortunately, my secretary has replaced my itinerary.

Regards
OM

I think she simply changed a formerly planned route/plan of journey to another one.

Regards:)

Hi Katarzyna,

Thanks again for your answer. Actually, it should read 'misplaced' instead of 'replaced'. I still think an itinerary must be something like a diary. Please take a look at this sentence:

"Well, I seem to have misplaced my itinerary and need the name of my hotel so I can get a cab and take it to my hotel."

I mean, is an itinerary something physical, a book? If so, what is the difference between a calendar and an itinerary?

Diary - calendar - itinerary Mon Oct 10, 2005 19:40 pm  Diary - calendar - itinerary
 

Hi Openmind:)

The speaker put IT in a wrong place and couldn’t find it.

‘Itinerary’ means here ‘a guidebook for travellers’ or a timetable of a visit in writing (used rather in a formal way).

Calendar shows dates; a diary may be a kind of a calendar to make, let’s say, business notes in it (your private notes). A diary is also a kind of a notebook in which you describe your personal thoughts and experiences day by day.

Look at the links with the photographs; I hope they will be helpful

Hello Kataryzna! Thank you a lot for your speedy reply with all these useful links and information. Now I'm getting a better picture of the meaning of the word itinerary. So, there are the following terms that more or less mean the same or at least are related to each other:

- itinerary
- calender
- timetable
- schedule
- diary
- journal
- log book

Maybe, there are even more?
