Your two basic choices are a TA or individual bookings.
You are the classic customer for a good professional TA. They will, of course, charge a fee for their servce. For that they will coordinate travel, make recommendations for areas where you are unfamiliar, etc. Only you can determine if this is worth it.
If you want to DIY, look at TripIt (
http://www.tripit.com) as a way to coordinate the travel.
