In Today’s lesson we will be exploring Belize! You will get to watch a clip http://youtu.be/fyRx2eWCX_U that tells a bit about Belize and showcases some popular tourist sites in Belize.
After viewing this clip you will need to research- using Google.com or your favorite search engine to plan for and find the cost of a weeks’
“ vacation in Belize”( 7 days 6nights).
You are to use a spreadsheet ( Excel) to calculate the total cost of the “ vacation in Belize” The cost must include:
1. Airfare: You can select any airline and any week just explain the reason for your selection.
2. Hotel: on San Pedro Ambergris Caye: You are free to select any hotel, as long as you can tell me why it is that you want to stay there.
After calculating the cost you are to use a word processor (Word) to create a request for approval of your required expenses. Be sure to justify all expenses and to include:
1. Picture- You are required to include a picture of the Hotel.
(remember to site your source)
2. Map – You are to include a map indicating the location of the hotel. https://maps.google.com/
3. Activities that will be available during this stay in Belize.
When all that is done email the completed request to a3cooper@student.bridgew.edu and send me an update on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/ to inform me that you have completed your assignment and indicate what your favorite part of the assignment.
Enjoy your tour of Belize.

Good morning how are you?
ReplyDeleteMy name is Emilio, I am a Spanish boy and I live in a town near to Madrid. I am a very interested person in knowing things so different as the culture, the way of life of the inhabitants of our planet, the fauna, the flora, and the landscapes of all the countries of the world etc. in summary, I am a person that enjoys traveling, learning and respecting people's diversity from all over the world.
I would love to travel and meet in person all the aspects above mentioned, but unfortunately as this is very expensive and my purchasing power is quite small, so I devised a way to travel with the imagination in every corner of our planet. A few years ago I started a collection of used stamps because trough them, you can see pictures about fauna, flora, monuments, landscapes etc. from all the countries. As every day is more and more difficult to get stamps, some years ago I started a new collection in order to get traditional letters addressed to me in which my goal was to get at least 1 letter from each country in the world. This modest goal is feasible to reach in the most part of countries, but unfortunately it’s impossible to achieve in other various territories for several reasons, either because they are countries at war, either because they are countries with extreme poverty or because for whatever reason the postal system is not functioning properly.
For all this I would ask you one small favor:
Would you be so kind as to send me a letter by traditional mail from Belize? I understand perfectly that you think that your blog is not the appropriate place to ask this, and even, is very probably that you ignore my letter, but I would call your attention to the difficulty involved in getting a letter from that country, and also I don’t know anyone neither where to write in Belize in order to increase my collection. a letter for me is like a little souvenir, like if I have had visited that territory with my imagination and at same time, the arrival of the letters from a country is a sign of peace and normality and an original way to promote a country in the world. My postal address is the following one:
Emilio Fernandez Esteban
Avenida Juan de la Cierva, 44
28902 Getafe (Madrid)
Spain
If you wish, you can visit my blog www.cartasenmibuzon.blogspot.com where you can see the pictures of all the letters that I have received from whole World.
Finally I would like to thank the attention given to this letter, and whether you can help me or not, I send my best wishes for peace, health and happiness for you, your family and all your dear beings.
Yours Sincerely
Emilio Fernandez
