1. Recently, I was planning a weekend trip to California with a couple friends. I needed to conduct research so we would not get lost, had a place to sleep, and to budget how much money we would need. How much money will we need for gas, hotel, food, etc? Where exactly are we going and what are we going to once there?
2. The research was a group effort including the other three people coming and myself. We all got together to discuss the details so would could all come to an agreement.
3. First we agreed on what we would do and where we were going. One of the people coming had tickets to Universal Studios so we decided to get a hotel nearby. We got a map and then researched a nearby beach because we agreed on going to the beach. We estimated how many miles it would take to get there and how many more miles we would drive while in California. After figuring out my car's gas mileage and the average gas prices, we multiplied all the numbers to find out how much gas mony to divide between the four of us. We also called around for cheap hotel prices and divided that between eachother. We used the internet for most of our research.
4. We came to the conclusion of having to fill up on gas about four times, which planned out to be around $30 for each person. My friend knew of a nice motel that was a mile from the beach and was also cheap, costing $20 a person for one room. We also decided to figure out where we would eat as we traveled.
5. Time was definately a factor since we were leaving Friday afternoon and coming back early Sunday morning. If we had more time, we would have stayed at the beach longer and spent more time at Universal Studios. We got lost many times driving around Los Angeles because the map we bought was hard to understand. I was pretty satisfied on the decisions we made though.
