Vacation in Belize

Good Morning Students,

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.
