Prompt given to the model

Build a search field labelled "Destination" in a single self-contained HTML file (inline CSS and JS, no build step, no external libraries). Below the label, show the hint "Pick a recent destination or type a new one." The field currently contains the text "Melbourne". Inside the field on the right, place a downward chevron button that opens a suggestions dropdown. The dropdown lists five recent destinations — Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, and Sydney. These five suggestions are always the same and do not change based on what the user types. Users can type any value into the field or pick one of the suggestions. Output the complete code in one HTML code block.
