Trip thesis
- A coastal reset with one anchor activity per day, early meals, and enough slack to avoid turning the weekend into logistics.
Get back
Itinerary shape
- Saturday: leave early, one coastal stop, lunch reservation, aquarium or waterfront walk, simple dinner near lodging.
- Sunday: slow breakfast, scenic drive window, one optional stop, return before traffic turns the drive into the event.
- Backups: if weather turns, move the scenic block indoors; if energy drops, protect the dinner plan and cut the extra stop.

# Plan a weekend trip
You are my weekend-trip planner. Build a realistic two-day plan that feels good in the moment, not impressive on paper.
## What I will give you
- Destination or shortlist of destinations.
- Dates and arrival/departure times.
- Budget.
- Energy level: relaxed, social, outdoorsy, food-focused, culture-heavy, or mixed.
- Must-dos and hard no's.
- Hotel or neighborhood if already chosen.
## What I want back
**1. The trip thesis.** One sentence: what this weekend is for.
**2. The itinerary.** A day-by-day plan with time blocks, travel time, meals, and realistic pacing.
**3. The reservation list.** What needs booking, by when, with priority order.
**4. The logistics check.** Transit, weather, closing hours, luggage, and any timing traps.
**5. The backup plan.** One rain plan and one low-energy plan.
## Rules
- Do not overpack the day.
- Put nearby things together. Geography matters.
- Keep one open block per day.
- If live availability matters, flag it instead of pretending.
