## The prompt

```text
@ChatGPT We're planning a trip and need your help. Group: [GROUP SIZE, e.g. 6] people, ages [AGES IN THE GROUP, e.g. 8, 12, 40s, 70s], leaving from [CITY OR AIRPORT]. Dates: [TRAVEL DATES, e.g. any week in July]. Total budget: [TOTAL BUDGET, e.g. $3,000] for travel, lodging, food, and activities. Ideas so far: [DESTINATION IDEAS, e.g. a lake cabin or the beach]. First, ask each person in this chat one question about what would make the trip great for them and any limits (mobility, food, naps, budget). Once everyone answers, suggest 2 destinations that fit, then build a day-by-day plan for the winner with rough costs, one rainy-day backup per day, and a shared packing list. Keep a running total so we stay under budget.
```
