Prompt:
Hi, I work for Picture Perfect Travel, Inc, and I have way too much on my plate right now during this busy Christmas travel season. Would I be able to give you an email sent by one of our top customers and you can help me with a preliminary travel itinerary with them? Please read their email and then give me a professional travel-agent-style itinerary. I’d need to it have a clear structure, polished formatting, and all relevant practical details our clients have asked for. At the end, could you include notes for me (if applicable) that aren’t visible on the itinerary I’ll print out for the customer? A good example of a note here would be your estimation of how much a trip like this would cost. Here’s the email:


---My wife and I are planning a vacation around Cornwall. I’m a strong and able 39-year-old man, while my wife is very strong and capable as well, though she just had a knee replacement surgery 4 weeks ago. But the doctor said as long as she’s not driving the trip should be fine (because she’s still on narcotics). But no more than an hour drive. We’ve previously done hiking trips at Machu Picchu, long road trips through Italy, as well as sightseeing city trips in Paris and Madrid. We’ve even swum with the sea turtles on Galapagos! My wife is an excellent swimmer and I love snorkelling. We love trying all the foods as well (though my wife doesn’t eat red meat). This time, I’d like to see where my family came from (Cornwall), and experience that part of the UK. We’d need a six-day itinerary (6 days, 5 nights). We’d like to start in Fowey. We’ll arrive late on night 1, and then you’ll give us the plans starting the next day. Please start with Night 1 - Arrive & Stay in Fowey. Then below this you can write Day 1 - Southern Coast Arrival. Then you have a subsection called “Activities” with exactly two activities for us to do around Fowey during the day. Activities should wrap up around 2pm (but no need to mention times here). That way we have enough time to drive to our next location. For each day, please choose a small town or village for us to spend the night at, two activities to do in that area the next day, and how many km it will be to drive to the next town (and the number of hours of driving). Again, 6 days 5 nights total. As I mentioned, we’d be arriving in Fowey the first night, and ideally like to end the trip at Port Isaac. We have a preference for the coastal towns, please, as we love the beaches, cliffside views, and the sea. Though please note we tend to get seasick easily, ironically. In terms of activities, my wife loves taking pictures, so variety is key. At the end, please also include a short checklist of special local foods we can try, 6 items so we can “cross them off our list” as we go.---

The first page would need to be just our business name (bold) and my name underneath that please, so our assistant knows where to deliver the print out. My name is Wendy Berkshire. Thanks.
