2. Deciding where to go and what to do when we get there.

Now use the internet or a travel agency to find out what activities there are to do in London for the five days we will be there and in Oxford for the two days we will be there.

 

 

Be sure to include for at least one of the two destinations the following:

A Historical Musuem

3. Understanding the currency in the country we are traveling to.

Now take all of the prices that you have found and convert them into British pounds.

 

Find the total cost of the trip and then divide the cost among the number of students traveling.

 

Take the distance found earlier and convert it to the standard unit of measure in England. This means the metric system

Also with the time of travel, discuss if there will be time zone issues.
