1. 
   Pretend that you are a travel consultant for The International Travel Company located in Denver, Colorado. You will be creating documents pertaining to a travel package to be presented in March or October. Decide on a travel destination. It should be city but can be anywhere in the world. The more exotic, the better! Once you have selected your destination, use the internet, electronic databases, and/or print resources, to gather the information listed below:

   • Average temperatures for the months of March and October.
   • A hotel with a short description.
   • Two tourist spots or points of interest for a vacationer and short descriptions of each.
   • A restaurant for fine dining and a short description of the menu items.
   • An “exciting fact” about your destination.

   Please note: the above information is to be used in future assignments. For now, just follow the steps below: For assistance on taking screen shots, click here.
