Introduction


Where would you go if you could travel anywhere in the world? Fun to dream, isn’t it? Would you visit the Eiffel Tower, the Outback, or the Sistine Chapel? Or would you prefer an adventure in the Himalayas or an excursion down the Amazon River?

For many people an extravagant trip such as this is impossible.


Not everyone has the financial resources to complete this type of trip. Fortunately (!?!?) your Aunt Gertrude died. She always liked you better than most of your family members since you always took the time to be with her, giving her moral support during all her painful trips to the podiatrist. Now in death, she has rewarded you with $3000. Her will stipulates that this sum is to be used for educational travel within the continental 48 United States. Good old Aunt Gertrude!
