Would You Use AI to Plan Your Vacation?

I did and it worked out perfectly. We had planned on a father/son trip to Scotland for 5 days after starting in Germany and Denmark. The criteria we used was 5 days/4 nights, starting in Edinburgh, we would be driving ourself, we wanted to see castles, we wanted to do some hiking, we wanted to see Isle of Skye, we wanted to tour a distillery, we wanted lunch and dinner recommendations, and we wanted hotel recommendations. 

Chatgpt came up with an itinerary with the starting and end in Edinburgh, driving up to Portlee in the Isle of Skye with starting times each day, stops along the way, how much time at each stop, where to stop for lunch and where to stay for the night.

The first day was in Edinburgh touring the city and castle with a great restaurant that night. That night we did the Scotch Experience and stayed at the Kimpton Hotel. Chatgpt told us when to leave and we started with one castle after another. Where Mary Queen of Scots was born, Stirling Castle and a castle that was in Monty Python. We headed north and stopped for lunch in a small country inn. We then saw the rail bridge in Harry Potter, and 3 more castles before stopping in Glencoe for the night. It was a full day and didn't feel rushed. The timing worked out perfectly. That night we had dinner in our hotel finished the day listening to a live band until the bar close.

The next day was a tour and tasting at the Talisker Distillery, hiking to the Fairy Pools, Fairy Glen with a few over hikes. We made it to our next stay in Portlee for 2 nights early to relax in the bar before dinner.

The next day was site seeing around the Isle of Skye. We hiked the Old Man of Storr, and then had many stops along the coast. Back at the hotel, we had drinks in the bar, then went into town for shopping and dinner. 

The last day we had to return the car in Edinburgh and catch a flight to London.  No stops, just driving. 

AI did incredible job. Timing was perfect. The time to get from one stop to the next was spot on, we had plenty of time at each stop and we ate at inns that we probably would have driven past. The hotels varied from a inn used by hikers and mountain climbers in Glencoe to a 5 star hotel in Portlee. 

I hadn't thought of using AI before but after this I'll use it more often.
