Acts as an RV travel itinerary planning specialist

Here is the travel profile of Yvan and Manon: Yvan, 59, is fit and enjoys scuba diving, snorkeling, kayaking, cycling, intermediate hiking and via ferrata. Manon, 55, prefers moderate trails and gentle activities such as treetop trails and cultural visits; she also likes snorkeling and cycling. Together they share an interest in beaches, museums, historical monuments, botanical gardens, national parks and zoos, and they only swim if the water temperature exceeds 26°C. They enjoy boat trips and local cultural shows. They are open to a variety of activities, as long as they are accessible and adapted to their interests. They like to discover beautiful landscapes, favoring large panoramas and picturesque sites.

They would like to take an RV trip and know the detailed itinerary as well as the associated costs. Their RV is a Ford Transit consuming 17.5 liters per 100 km.

When planning the route you must limit the number of driving hours to 3 hours per day. They would also be interested in tourist attractions that are a maximum of 60 minutes’ drive from their main route. We don’t spend more than 2 days in the same place.

Add an estimate of accommodation costs (camping and boondocking), Entrance fees for parks, museums, cruises, a meal budget per day, knowing that lunch and dinner are generally made in the van.

We would like to have one line per tourist attraction to do. Add a line to total the costs at the end of the route.

Ask me questions if you need more information to plan the route.

The trip would begin on July 1st and must be completed no later than August 19th. We don’t have a specific budget, but we would like it to be reasonable.

We have no preference for duration in each region. You can include any activities that you consider relevant. We would like to have a detailed itinerary for each day of the week, but we are open to suggestions for activities for days off. We would also like to have a list of activities to do if it ever rains.

We would like a combination of camping accommodation and boondocking. We don’t have a budget for dinner. We are open to taking detours of up to 60 minutes to visit specific tourist attractions but we do not have any sites in mind.

Yes, give me the full picture. You don’t have to take the 7 weeks to make the trip. Ideally you don’t want to stay more than 2 days in the same place.

Can you provide me with the Google Maps links in segments of 25 destinations for this route. I would like to see the route on my google map. Here is an example of the format I would like: Google maps

Here is the initial itinerary: Departure from Richelieu, Qc towards Nova Scotia. Visit to Nova Scotia. Take the ferry to Newfoundland. Visit to Saint-Pierre and Miquelon. Then visit Newfoundland. Take the crossing to Blanc-Sablon and return to Richelieu using the Baie Sainte-Catherine ferry.

The output format must contain at least the following information: |Day| Departure|Destination| Distance (km) | Time (h)| Activity| Description| Duration |Address |Website| Night spot| Gasoline cost (\()| Activity cost (\))| Meals ($)|Google Maps route link|

You can generate the route per week or per day, whichever suits you best.

Ask me all the questions you need to plan the route.

#response Also counts the road from Richelieu to the first destination in Nova Scotia in total time/driving? Estimated total time on site: I don’t have a specific time, but I want the trip to be completed no later than August 19th. You can spread the activities over the 7 weeks available, but ideally, you don’t want to stay more than 2 days in the same place. proportion 70% boondocking, 30% camping?) Would you prefer that I select official campsites and places known for safe boondocking? No Paid activities: Certain activities such as cruises, national parks or museums can have quite variable fees. Would you like me to prioritize activities with free or very affordable entry? No, I am open to paid activities if they are interesting. Lunch and dinner in the van, OK. For the meal budget, what type of meal budget per day per person would you like to estimate (e.g.: \(15, \)20, \(30 per day)? \)20 per day per person. Would you like to include some local restaurant suggestions for dinner or just standalone meals? Yes, some suggestions for local restaurants for dinner would be appreciated.

Snorkeling and water temperature: The water must be at least 26°C for swimming/snorkeling. Knowing that it is rare in these regions, should I plan a majority of activities without swimming? Or still plan diving/snorkeling in the rare places where it is possible? Yes, it is better to plan a majority of activities without swimming, but include a few rare places where swimming is possible if the water temperature allows it. Cycling: Do Yvan and Manon ride electric or standard bikes? electric bike maximum 60km per day. What type of bike route (road, gentle trails, country paths)? all three. Would you like me to create a list of specific fallback activities for rainy days, or a plan B for each major step? Yes, a list of fallback activities for rainy days would be helpful. Return: The return via Baie Sainte-Catherine to Richelieu, do you want me to include an itinerary with suggested stages or just the crossing and direct route? Itinerary with suggested stops.

Ask me all the questions you need to plan the route.

You want a maximum of 3 hours of driving per day. If a trip is shorter, would you like additional exploration/activity suggestions to fill the day? Yes On the other hand, if a journey between 2 stages exceeds 3 hours, I will divide it into several stages. It’s good ? yes 3. Boondocking accommodation vs. camping Since you don’t necessarily want me to select only official or well-known sites, I can include safe but a little wilder spots (public areas, authorized parking lots, public lands). Do you want links or specific contact details? This will be useful for finding them there. For the proportion 70% boondocking, 30% camping, I will take into account the most suitable areas depending on the region. Thank you 4. Specific activities in the regions For Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, I will include a selection of key activities (rare diving/snorkeling, kayaking, hiking, cycling, cultural sites, parks, etc.). Do you want me to favor labeled sites (e.g. Parks Canada, recognized museums) or can I also include lesser-known but interesting local attractions? both. 5. Google Maps Links Given the likely size of the route, I will prepare the links in 25-step segments as requested, well formatted. THANKS. Do you also want a KML or other file to import into Google Earth or other GPS app? that would be great, thank you. 6. Restaurant suggestions I will prepare some suggestions for local restaurants in the main cities/stops, with cooking style and price range. Perfect. THANKS. Do you also want me to suggest some local specialties to taste? Yes, it would be great to have suggestions of local specialties to try.

Perfect ! So I’m leaving on a route from Richelieu to Nova Scotia, via Quebec and New Brunswick, without passing through Ontario.

Here is the detailed table for the first week (from approximately July 1 to 7), respecting a maximum of 3 hours of driving/day, with activities, accommodation, costs, restaurant suggestions and Google Maps links.
