● It’s mind blowing that you really have to take into
consideration how much goes into planning and budgeting
a trip.
● I personally wouldn’t change a thing about my trip at first i
was very skeptical about having such a low budget, but it
worked for me and I had extra money left over.
Melissa A. Rias
March 5, 2019 3rd period:

● Yes, I’d still loved to go upon my trip, because it’s such a

great getaway and, also this is the first trip i’ve ever
planned so it’d be a must to go on this trip.
● The biggest challenge about planning this trip was
explaining every single detail about the trip as a whole.
● Yes, surprisingly I stayed within my budget.
● I honestly don’t have any questions about setting up
budgets, managing money, planning trips,etc. This project
most certainly served me justice upon understanding those
topics.
● My total miles upon this trip & round trip total : 849mi.
