Plan this trip around one hard constraint
When a budget, a pram, a bad knee or a heatwave defines the whole trip.
I am planning a trip with a constraint that has to drive every decision, not be worked around at the end. 1. Restate my constraint in your own words, including the second-order effects I may not have thought of. 2. Tell me which of the usual recommendations for this destination are now off the table, and say so bluntly. 3. Give me a plan built from the constraint outwards: what stays feasible, and what becomes the better version of the experience rather than a consolation prize. 4. List the specific things I must confirm before booking, for example step-free access, cooling, pram storage, or refundable rates. Do not reassure me that everything will be fine. Where a constraint makes something genuinely hard, say so. Mark anything that depends on a facility still existing or still operating as [verify]. Destination: The constraint:
Making it yours
- Paste your own material where the prompt asks for it. Everything above that line is instruction, not content.
- Delete any rule that does not apply to you. A shorter prompt that fits beats a thorough one that does not.
- If the answer comes back vague, add a line saying what you do not want. Constraints work better than encouragement.
Choosing and budgeting. Picking between options, planning around a hard constraint, and what the trip will really cost.
