I make my own "trip kits" for VFR flights. Here is the procedure:

1. Order VFR charts.
2. Find the website of destination airport, download and print local rules, fees, charts, telephone numbers, etc... If they do not have a website, think twice if you want to fly there. If you do, contact them by phone.
3. Find the airport at EAD EAD Basic - Registration Page download and print the rest of materials if it is there (you won't find small fields there). I print only airport data.
4. Read the VFR rules of the country at EAD (it will be the same with small differences in things like transition altitudes, airspace structure, sunset, etc...)
5. Pull up the VFR charts, find the routing. BTW, at the back of Jepps are the most important things about VFR flights for the particular country. Program the plan to the GPS.
6. Look around here if you find something interesting about the country and destination airtport.
7. Repeat 2 and 3 for the alternates.

Tripkit is ready.
