What they did
1) Create a Claude Project for the trip and upload a master document containing your selected places, preferences and major decisions. Keep the decision log updated when hotels or side trips change. 2) Add reference lists for interests and constraints. Where live page extraction is useful, connect browser access; the author used Chrome MCP. 3) Ask Claude to group selected places geographically and separate booked events or essential visits from flexible nearby options. Check how opening hours and transport fit the anchors instead of filling every hour. 4) During the trip, give the same project your current location, weather and energy level and ask it to rearrange the day using those existing alternatives. Finish with a revised plan grounded in your curated list.

Worth knowing
