Hi, there,
We are a family of 3 (our daughter is 20 years old) and flying into Dublin on May 25th. On May 28th we need to be in Dublin for a work related activities (4th to 7th nights ) of this 10 day trip. I asked ChatGPT to build me an itinerary w/ this constraint and this is what it proposed. How does this look? We will have a car from May 25-28th and then again from June 1-3. Returning the car for when we are in Dublin.
