The prompt · ChatGPT
Plan a road trip with honest drive times. Start / end: [details] Days available: [n] Vibe: [coast, mountains, food — list] Drivers: [who] Kids or pets: [optional] Max drive block: [hours] Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers. Then: 1. A day-by-day route with drive blocks and stop types. 2. Overnight area suggestions (areas, not invented bookings). 3. A packing/car checklist. 4. Ferry, toll or low-emission zones marked check. Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, prices, opening hours or bookings. Rules change, so don't state entry, visa or passport rules as certain — mark each 'check' and point me to GOV.UK foreign travel advice (and the passport/renew pages) so I confirm myself. This is planning help, not immigration or travel insurance advice. UK English. Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.
