### Paris walking tour
```bash
./scripts/travel-planner.sh '{
  "waypoints": [
    {"lat": 48.8584, "lon": 2.2945, "purpose": "Eiffel Tower"},
    {"lat": 48.8606, "lon": 2.3376, "purpose": "Louvre Museum"},

  ],
  "constraints": {
    "transport": "foot",
    "time_budget": "6 hours"
  }
}'
```

### NYC cycling tour
```bash
./scripts/travel-planner.sh '{
  "waypoints": [
    {"lat": 40.7128, "lon": -74.0060, "purpose": "Start at Battery Park"},
    {"lat": 40.6892, "lon": -74.0445, "purpose": "Statue of Liberty viewpoint"},
    {"lat": 40.7061, "lon": -73.9969, "purpose": "Brooklyn Bridge"},
    {"lat": 40.7580, "lon": -73.9855, "purpose": "Times Square"}
  ],
  "constraints": {
    "transport": "bike",
    "time_budget": "3 hours"
  }
}'
```

./scripts/travel-planner.sh '{
  "waypoints": [
    {"lat": 37.7749, "lon": -122.4194, "purpose": "Office downtown"},
    {"lat": 37.7849, "lon": -122.4094, "purpose": "Client meeting"},
    {"lat": 37.7900, "lon": -122.4000, "purpose": "Lunch"},
    {"lat": 37.7749, "lon": -122.4194, "purpose": "Return to office"}
  ],
  "constraints": {
    "transport": "car",
    "time_budget": "2 hours"
  }
}'
```

## Best Practices

- Always include a `purpose` for each waypoint to get better route analysis
- Set a `time_budget` to get feasibility checks and optimization suggestions
- Use "foot" transport for city walking tours, "bike" for cycling tours, "car" for road trips
- Order waypoints in your preferred visiting sequence; the API will check feasibility
- Combine with the `query` skill to discover points of interest to add as waypoints
- Combine with the `hotel-finder` skill to find accommodation near your first or last waypoint
- Combine with the `context` skill to learn more about each waypoint's neighborhood
- For longer trips, break the itinerary into manageable day segments
