Dream Vacation Project

Budget  As winners of a special contest, you will receive $10,000 for your group to go on the vacation of a lifetime!  There are just a few things to keep in mind…

What To Do  You must go somewhere outside of the United States  You must keep track of EVERY expense for the trip (i.e. airfare, transportation, living, food, souvenirs, activities, etc.)  You can go as long as you’d like, but each day of your trip must be outlined  You need to site the websites you use to gain your information  All information needs to be current and for the date(s) you plan to purchase it (hotel rates need to be for the days you plan to go, tours or sights must be operating during the time you plan to go, etc.)

What To Do  You need to include meals every day and the place where you will eat them  Think about how you will get from place to place  You may visit more than one location, but make sure you keep track of your money!  If things are in the country’s currency, please convert it to US dollars using the Google currency converter  At the end of your project, include a page with all of your expenses added up

Presentation  To present your information, you will need to create a Mooklet!  Download the app “Mooklet” on your iPhone or iPad, or one checked out from the media center  You can use the Bump app and the website bu.mp to transfer pictures from your computer to your phone  Here is a quick video about how to use Mooklet! 
