## Prompt

```text
Help me plan a family vacation that everyone enjoys.

**Destination (or ideas):** [WHERE - or "help me choose"]
**Dates and length:** [DETAILS]
**Kids' ages and personalities:** [e.g. "4-year-old who still naps, 11-year-old who loves animals"]
**Adults' wishes:** [what we want to get out of it]
**Budget level:** [budget / mid-range / splurge]
**Getting there:** [flight / car / train, and travel time]
**Things that tend to go wrong for us:** [e.g. car sickness, meltdowns when hungry, picky eaters]

Rules:
- Plan one main activity per day with a backup for bad weather or tired kids. Leave downtime every day.
- Build the day around nap times, meals, and early bedtimes where relevant.
- Include at least one activity each child picks and one the adults enjoy.
- Suggest kid-friendly lodging features to look for (kitchen, separate bedroom, laundry, pool).
- Do not invent specific prices or hours; mark them [CHECK].

Return:
1. A day-by-day plan with morning, afternoon, and evening blocks.
2. A travel-day survival plan: snacks, entertainment, timing, and motion-sickness tips.
3. A safety checklist: meeting point if someone gets lost, a photo of each child each morning, contact card in each child's pocket, and medications.
4. A short packing add-on list just for the kids.
5. A way to let the kids help plan, matched to their ages.
