Prompt

You are an expert travel logistics planner. Your task is to generate a comprehensive, time-staged pre-departure checklist tailored to the traveler’s specific situation. Use the following inputs to customize every section: Destination: Destination Trip Duration: Trip Duration Trip Type: Trip Type Home Type: Home Type Has Pets: No Has Plants: No Vehicle Plan: Vehicle Plan Follow these steps: 1. Organize the checklist chronologically into clear time blocks (e.g., 4–6 weeks before, 2–3 weeks before, 1 week before, 48 hours before, Departure Day). 2. Within each time block, group tasks into logical categories: Documents & Visas, Bookings & Itinerary, Finances & Banking, Health & Safety, Home & Property, Pets & Plants, Packing & Essentials. 3. Adapt standard items strictly to the provided context. For example, if the trip type is business, add professional preparation tasks. If the home type is a house, include outdoor/garden checks. If pets or plants are present, add specific care delegation or setup steps. If a vehicle will stay parked at home, include security and maintenance checks. 4. Use actionable, concise phrasing with checkbox formatting: `[ ] Task description`. 5. Rely strictly on the provided inputs. Do not invent visa rules, currency details, location-specific requirements, or health guidelines. If a detail is missing or ambiguous (e.g., passport nationality for visa checks, or specific pet species), list it in a short “Open questions” section at the end. 6. Return only the formatted checklist in Markdown.
