1. A trip to Athens, Greece 1 week duration with 4 people

2. Hotel and Flight My 3 friends and I will depart from YVR Airport, Vancouver on March 20, 5:15pm, and arrive at the Athens Airport at 4:10pm the next day. We return to Vancouver on the 26th. The roundtrip costs $1,229 per person. We will stay at Victory Inn in Athens, which costs $46 per night. That totals to $276 per person for the 6 nights that we are there, excluding the flight.

3. Insurance and Other Expenses Insurance------------------ $77 Incidentals-----------------$120 Local transport------------$80 Meals and snacks---------$320 Shopping-------------------$150 Pocket Money-------------$150 These are listed in Canadian dollars, and will be slightly less in Euros, but that doesn't really matter because things are a little cheaper in Greece anyway.

4. The total adds up to $2402 per person!

5. During the Grade 10 Year Savings Plan- adding to the $500 I already have Summer Before Grade 11 Tutoring $14/h, 6 hours a week for at least 16 weeks. Total earned: $1344 A job at a retail store ex. Fresh St. Market, Starbucks, etc. $10.25/h, 20 hours a week for 8 weeks. Total earned: $1,640

6. If all goes as planned... then by the time I am in Grade 12 I will have saved up $3484, which is more than enough for a trip to Athens, Greece. Perhaps I could even go to Kos Island, Greece, where a flight ticket costs over $2000. Or perhaps I'll just hoard the money to buy and care for a Tamaskan puppy. That sounds better than any trip. = )
