Summary  
Demonstrates how to delete elements from a Python list at a given index using the `del` keyword, including support for negative indexing.  

General domain of usage  
Travel itinerary management

The `del` keyword allows you to delete an element at a **specific index** in the list. This is useful when you know the exact position of the item you want to remove. The syntax of `del` keyword is:

``` python
del list[index]
```
- The statement starts with the keyword `del`;
- Next, you typically identify the list item with its index, like `list[index]`.

Let's say you have a list of cities in your travel itinerary:
``` python
travel_wishlist = ["Paris", "Oslo", "Kyoto", "Sydney"]
```
You've decided to remove the city `"Sydney"`, which is the last destination on your list. Using `del` and negative indexing:

travel_wishlist = ["Paris", "Oslo", "Kyoto", "Sydney"]

# Remove the last city
del travel_wishlist[-1]
print(travel_wishlist) # Output: ['Paris', 'Oslo', 'Kyoto']

You can remove any item from the list by using its index number.
