Things to work on in class.

1. Using Excel, start to type in your itinerary. Use My sample as a guide for what you need to include.
Save a copy in one of your user folders, using the House log-in method.
At the end of each class, save a back up of the itinerary into the documents folder!

While one person is typing the itinerary, the other partner (s) can be looking for airfare or hotel info. (expedia, travelocity)
Remember, bookmark your sites and take notes as to locations, including address.

Sometimes you may need addresses for hotels and tourist attractions using mapquest, google ADVANCED SEARCH, or the webpage from a National Park Site, or from a webpage of a city's Division of Tourism may have a link to area lodging. (Hint: In the ADVANCED SEARCH PHRASE line you can type in Division of Tourism and then in the line above you can type in the city.)
You can also go online to find out how much it is to rent a car. Write it down and bookmark.
