Student project creating a budget for Travel.

1. Lake Tahoe Budget
Intro to travel

2. Transportation
I have decided to drive my own vehicle instead of flying. My reason is because
it costs almost double the amount to fly, then it would to drive. I would be driving
a 1998 Nissan Altima and runs at about 23 miles per gallon. We would travel
approximately 920 miles total. The price per gallon in the state of Nevada is
approximately $3.80. I would spend around $240 on gas to get there and back.
Gasbuddy.com was one very helpful website I used to get these results.
Lodging
We would use the website www.vrbo.com to help us decide on the perfect place
to stay. I found the cutest little cabin located in Cave Rock, south east shore of
Lake Tahoe, NV. There is one bedroom, one bathroom, and a loft that sleeps
four to five people comfortably. Because we have decided to stay March 25th till
March 28th, it would cost $125 per night, or $375 total.

3. Activities
We would decide to snowboard at the Heavenly Ski Resort. We would decide to
buy/rent our lift tickets and snowboarding gear online in order to save a few dollars.
Lift tickets for two days costs $156 per person, or $312 total. The two day
snowboarding include a snowboard, boots, and bindings. Rentals are $71.54 per
person, or $143.08 total.
Going Out
Since we do not like to spend too much money, we would only visit two local
spots. The first place is called the Paddle Wheel.
I did some research, and they supposedly have great live music. We would
spend no more than fifty dollars at the Paddle Wheel. I also thought the Horizon
casino would be a nice place to visit and maybe watch a movie or two.
Approximately seventy-five dollars. With a total of $125 spent music and movies!
