You’ve just become engaged. Congratulations! Your future parents-in-law offer to cover your honeymoon expenses. You’re very excited until you hear that they plan to join you. Still, you plan to make the best of it. After all, it is a free trip and Morocco sounds pretty exotic. This will give you a chance to show your in-laws how much French you still remember from your three years in high school. Your parents offer to help you in your planning for this 10-day trip.
In your planning for this trip, you will accomplish the following:
Select airlines that offer the most direct flights with the least number of layovers.
Gather information about the weather during the time that you will be visiting the country.
Select areas to visit that will offer something for you and your in-laws.
Select hotels that fit your in-laws’ budget.
Select daily recreational activities for each day of your 10-day trip to Morocco.
Prepare a list of items to pack suitable for the activities and the weather in the areas to be visited.
Make a list of travel documents that you will need based on information that you find on the U.S. State Department web page.
Document the resources used in your research.
Create a complete and succinct itinerary based on the data gathered in steps 1-5 above.
Develop an expenditure plan featuring the anticipated cost of this 10-day trip to share with your in-laws.
Phase II
Five days after your arrival in Morocco, you’re finally getting over the initial culture shock. You decide to sneak away and write a letter to share your first impressions with your best friend in Columbia, SC. You tell her about the sights, scents and sounds of this mystical country where the “old” meets the “new” and where your senses are incessantly teased, comforted and assaulted. You tell her about the people you’ve met, the places you’ve visited, the food, the outdoor markets, and your overall experience.
You will work with two partners to plan, research and present your project.
You will use the Internet and print materials to gather information.
You will create a written product featuring appropriate visuals that details the results of your research.
You will present your itinerary in a format of your choice using multimedia.
Your presentation will include:
 | A 10-day itinerary for your trip to Morocco from Columbia, South Carolina, |
| A list of items to pack for the trip, |
| A list of necessary travel documents, |
| An expenditure plan with total cost of the trip, |
| A list of references used to plan this trip, |
| A letter featuring your initial impressions and experiences while in Morocco, and |
| A self-evaluation relating specific behaviors/strategies you used to help accomplish your group task. |

Congratulations are in order, once again!
You have planned a 10-day trip for people belonging to two different
generations. You explored a distant land with a culture that is very different
from your own. And you showed your in-laws how well you could manage in a
French-speaking country. In fact, your in-laws are so pleased with the
experience that they would like you to plan another trip for four (yes, that
includes you and your
spouse!) to Madagascar. Bonne chance!
