One of the more boring tasks that I would like to be automated is trip
planning. Comparing plane ticket prices, routes, times, finding a good
hotel, booking that, finding a rental car, comparing all the prices,
suggesting sights to see for the wife. It seems to me that this should

I haven't flown for personal travel since 2004. My car trips are ad hoc

You are a happy man, free as a bird! ;) I am married which does add some constraints to my life such as forced travel abroad at least once a year. =(
My hope is that the wife, over time, will lose her interest in travel, and then we can happily exist in _one_ place! =D
