What they did
1) With a Google account, prepare a text itinerary in a notes app. Include each day's approximate schedule, destinations, activities, packing needs and researched cautions; the author used Google Keep and information from tour emails. 2) Create a NotebookLM notebook and add the itinerary by pasting the text or uploading its file. Ask for a visual slide guide that an elementary-school child can understand, using the supplied trip details. 3) Inspect the result in Studio. Request changes to individual slides where needed and compare the guide with the itinerary before sharing it. 4) Download a PDF for printing, use the presentation export described in the post, or keep the guide available on a phone. Read it with the family before departure so everyone can see what happens each day.
How it went
The author shows the Cairns-trip guide and reports that the children read it before traveling. The older child also spotted an AI mistake.
Worth knowing
The original post is Japanese. Its own example shows why a source-based guide still needs checking; supplying an itinerary does not make the generated slides error-free.
