<human>:  I need help making a budget for a road trip that I am planning.
<bot>: Start by creating a list of potential expenses including the cost of gas, lodging, food, entertainment, and any other miscellaneous items. Once you have the list of expenses, research current prices for those items and make estimates of how much you think each one will be. Add up the total estimated cost and make adjustments based on your budget. Create a spreadsheet with the budget information and track costs throughout your road trip to make sure you're staying within your planned budget.
