Summer Vacation for Beginners Class 2

Today there was a table covered with a lot of brochures. There were ads for hotels, parks, casinos, roadside attractions, restaurants, even states and cities.

"So." Tim said. "Thanks to portalocity, you can pretty much go anywhere in no time at all. But have you ever heard the phrase, getting there is half the fun? Maybe it'd be more fun to fly. Or drive. Or even take a train. Legally or not. Websites like Googlemaps and Mapquest are pretty good places to see how long it'd take to drive somewhere.

"Today I'd like you to look through the brochures, and bearing in mind two things, pick a place to go, and start planning to do so. The two things are, how much time do you have? Do you have a weekend? A week? Two weeks? The other is, how much money do you have to spend? This week, I'm giving you a weekend, and a budget of say, 150 dollars.

"And due to a very valid point made on the radio last week, give me some ideas on a field trip you'd like to take. Again with a weekend as the schedule. I have some ideas of my own, but let's hear your thoughts."

Where should Tim try to convince the Administration to let him take you?

With a budget of 150 dollars and a weekend, pick a place to go. Places in Maryland or Virginia are easiest. Baltimore, Williamsburg, such-like. But I know from experience it is possible to go to Niagara Falls from Maryland for a weekend trip.

K-Mart started rummaging through the brochures while wondering how much a portal to a certain town in Georgia would cost her.

Gwynn was looking at a brochure for something called King's Dominion with curiosity.

Shilo was looking over the brochures on national parks. "Shenandoah National Park looks like it could be fun," she offered to anyone who was listening. "It might be a bit far, though."
