We used this as a project for our homeschool co-op US Geography Middle school course. It was a great resource and way to make them think about how hard it is to plan a vacay.
This is a fantastic and well-planned cross curriculur project sure to keep any student engaged. This activity blends history, geography and math. My students had such a great time planning their trips that it didn't even feel like work to them.
