That's a real run, shown verbatim — live fares, live nightly rates, a day-by-day itinerary behind every card, and budget math that adds up to the dollar. Each plan ends in deep links to the airline and the hotel: Windward never books, pays, or touches personal data. The agents run on your Claude subscription through claude -p, and a run aborts if it would ever bill the API instead.

Day 2 · Dune 45, first light

Through the Sesriem gate at 06:10 and up the ridge of Dune 45 while the east faces catch. Breakfast from the cooler at the base, then Sesriem Canyon in the last cool hour.

Day 4 · Deadvlei, the clay pan

Over the last dune and onto white clay — camelthorns nine hundred years dead and still standing. Stay for the long shadows; the crowds run the other way by four.

Day 7 · stars over Spitzkoppe

North to the granite arches for the last two nights. No moon in the forecast — the Milky Way core is overhead by ten, and the camp keeps its lights off. That's the point.

Five more days like these in the full plan — the exact flight, the room, every dollar accounted, deep links to book it yourself.

Plans, not bookings

It never books

No payments, no PII, no surprises. You get deep links; you decide.

Every dollar accounted

Costs stack bottom-up and candidates must clear your cap with margin; the critic flags any drift.
