We're headed to London in a few weeks. We had booked the flight and the hotel, but my wife and I are literally both so burned out by 2026 that we just couldn't wrap our minds around planning. We had a list of things we wanted to see/do, but it seemed like we just couldn't actually do the research to figure out when/where/how to do it... I was worried that we were going to get there and spend a week just walking around going to pubs because we hadn't planned anything--not that that sounds all that bad lol...
But since I needed a place to start, I turned to a travel agent... My good friend Claude.
Claude took our list, at my behest, and planned out cohesive days of sightseeing, organizing around what days certain things are/aren't open, what days things like the changing of the guard occurs, etc. I had it arrange things so that geographically, it made sense, i.e. putting things that were close together physically close together in the schedule. I even had it pull restaurant recommendations and provide "flex" activities that we can pivot to if we have time.
It gave me a nice document with everything neatly organized and notes on it all, as well as a spreadsheet file that lays everything out in a schedule by day and time slot... It's told me which things need reservations/tickets in advance, and generally made life easy.
I'm still going to have to go through and independently validate some of this stuff, because we all know AI makes mistakes. But it provided a really nice starting point.
