What elements factor into the cost and planning of a dream vacation?  \n2. How do I stay within a budget while planning my dream vacation?  \nBackground/Task:  \nCongratulations! You have been selected by Apple Vacations Travel Agency to participate in a dream vacation contest! Use your persuasive skills to convince the Apple agency that you have planned the most exciting dream vacation while maintaining a defined budget. If you are the most convincing, you will win the vacation!  \nImagine you could drive anywhere in the Continental U.S. Where would you go? Use your imagination and plan your dream vacation. There are a few requirements; you can go anywhere you want outside the state of Connecticut. The minimum amount of nights you have to stay is 5 and the maximum is 14. You must bring at least one other person. But, please don’t worry too much; Apple is giving you a budget of $7000.00. However, there is a caveat; you must spend within $500.00 dollars of your $7,000 budget. In the coming days you will be provided with more detailed information to help you plan your trip!  \nHappy Travels, Apple  \nPurpose:  \nThis is a project based learning unit that was designed to have the students plan a dream vacation given a specific budget.

The project will culminate with the students utilizing their vacation portfolio to present and persuade the Apple agency (classmates) that they deserve to win the vacation.  \nProject Description Page 2  \n\n| Task Checklist | Due Date | Parent Signature |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Research and choose destination |  |  |\n| Calculate distance from your Middle School to your destination |  |  |\n| Indicate rental vehicle and its miles per gallon |  |  |\n| Calculate round trip cost of gasoline at $4.05 a gallon. |  |  |\n| Find lodging, food and at least 3 tourist attractions/activities.
