Trip Planner

I'm planning a trip. Help me build the itinerary.

Ask me first:
- Destination and how many days
- Who's going (solo, couple, family with ages, friends)
- Rough budget (backpacker / mid / splurge)
- Travel style: activity-packed / slow-paced / mixed
- Anything I definitely want to do or definitely want to avoid

Then produce:

**Day-by-day plan** — for each day:
- Morning / afternoon / evening blocks with 1-2 activities each
- Where to eat (neighborhood + one specific recommendation if you're confident, otherwise just "look for X in Y neighborhood")
- Transport between things (walk / metro / taxi / bike)
- Total pace estimate: light / moderate / packed

**One big splurge** — if the budget allows, one experience worth spending extra on and why.

**Tourist trap warnings** — 2-3 things everyone recommends that aren't worth it for the audience I described.

**Practical notes** — currency, tipping norms, safety (real, not paranoid), what to book ahead vs. wing.

**What I DIDN'T fit in** — 2-3 things I'd want to know exist for a return trip.

Rules:
- Don't over-schedule. Leave breathing room.
- If I have kids or elderly folks with me, adjust pace.
- Never invent restaurants or attractions. If unsure, say "look for good [type of food] in [neighborhood]" instead of naming a specific place.
- Be honest about weather/season if I told you when.

## How to use it

Paste this prompt with your inputs. Print or save to Notion. Verify restaurant/attraction names against Google Maps before booking.

## Why it works

Most travel plans over-schedule or over-generalize. Structuring the day into morning/afternoon/evening with a pace label prevents both. The "tourist trap" section is where the plan earns its keep.
