Congratulations! You're finishing Exploring Business Technologies and have a good introductory understanding of what it will take to become a successful entrepreneur. Let's move forward 15 years to a time when your business will be established and you will have saved $10,000 for a dream vacation.

You determine the destination; anywhere in the world! You must not go over the budget of $10,000 and can only take one other person with you. Your tasks are to research your dream vacation destination and determine the following:

1. Where is your dream vacation location?
2. How will you get there, and how much will it cost?
3. Where will you stay, for how long, and how much will it cost?
4. What do you plan to do while on your dream vacation, and how much will these activities cost you?

Follow these guidelines as you create your presentation of at least six slides:

• A title slide (include the title of your presentation and your name)
• Two font styles
• Two font colors
• Clipart or photos on each slide
• One chart/graph showing your expenses broken down in the following categories:
  • travel
  • lodging
  • activities
  • food
  • miscellaneous expenses
• You may use Excel to create the chart, and mayl need to do a screenprint of the chart with the crop function in Microsoft Office to trim the excess from the screen print.
• Slide transitions
• A citation slide which includes the URLs for all the websites in your research. Remember that "google.com" is not a citiation. It is a search engine. You should cite the location that you visit from your web search.
• Save your presentation to your home directory and to the share directory.
