your choice, from the appetizer down to the refill of your drink.

2. After you decide how you will get to your destination,
you need to decide how you will get around at your destination! Will you rent a
car, scooter, or many even ride a bus. You need to find which mode of
transportation is best for the place you will be going, if you even need
transportation.
Post 3- Day 3
Where will you sleep?
A hotel or other type of housing is very crucial during your stay at the
destination of choice. How long will you
stay? How much does a hotel room cost a night?
Is there room service you want to that costs extra?

Lastly, you will need to create a table to explain what all
you found out about your destination. Every fee and expense needs to be
included on this table and come up with the total amount of money you would
have spent on this dream vacation. With this table you need to type a short
reflection explaining what you learned about planning a large vacation. Was it
more expensive than you thought? Also, just think about how it would change if
you brought a friend along with you.
Post 7 -Day 7- Reflection
In your reflection
- What did you learn about the overall planning process?
- Are there any expenses that were surprising to you?
- After all of the work, is this a place you would still like to travel to?
- Were there other means of transportation that might have been cheaper?
Of course, there are many other things to use this type of
planning on. This is a good way to budget any type of purchase you would like
to make, whether it is a house or a car. You have to remember to plan for
expenses that you don't expect to happen, too!
