How to do it, step by step

  1. Ask Gemini: "Plan a [number]-day road trip from [town] to [place] for [who's going]. Budget about $[amount]."
  2. Ask it to change anything: fewer hours driving, more kid stops, cheaper hotels.
  3. Look up each stop in Google Maps and save the ones you like.
  4. Ask: "Make me a packing list for this trip."
  5. Double-check hours and prices on the places' own websites before you go.
Tip: AI can be wrong about opening hours. Always check before you drive there.
