Calling all plugin developers: which plugins would you recommend for a travel app?

Calling all plugin developers: I need to develop a demo pretty quickly for a travel app and I see there’s a bunch of new plugins in the plugin store. I was thinking of starting with @PSMDanny’s BTA Design Menu... Any recommendations on which plugins I’d need for a travel app and why? This is your chance to do me a sales job on your plugin ;-)

On my spot finder plugin it also shows you the street name when clicking on the pin. Im working on changing the buttons to photos(icons).There's also the ability to take notes and pictures and store them in the app. Everything also stays saved when switching screens or leaving the app. Heres a screenshot of the address display. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bww-1gbkJ-0JYW1ZY1p5U1RsYms/edit?usp=docslist_api

My "event countdown" plugin was specifically designed for a travel app. It can be used to countdown the days till the users vacation, and then once they have arrived it can be used again to count down how much time they have left until they have to go home

A good example would be to look at my Woodstock travel app on an iPhone and see how I have done it. I used the BTA design menu for all the menus. And a variety of other plugins too. However if I were rebuilding the app, I'd probably do it a but differently. Currently, I'm making a tourist guide to Edinburgh, where I will be using the Xib menu, Tumblr menu and News digest as my main plugins.

All very helpful input folks - many thanks indeed. Lots of stuff I hadn’t thought about. I’ll share the end result, when I eventually get there!
