Imagine spending a weekend away from home. Make a list of ten items that you would take on this trip. Not sure where to go? You could go to a cabin in snowy mountains in the winter, an fruit farm in the spring, a Museum of African Art in the fall, or a rafting trip on a river in the summer.
Choose a food specialty from a different region of the United States or from a country you would like to visit. Find a recipe for this dish in a cookbook, magazine or online. Prepare this food and have a tasting party.
Choose a spot not too far away from where you live that you would like to visit for a weekend. Decide how you will get there, the people and places you will want to visit, what you will wear, and what you will take with you. Figure out how much this trip will cost. Then, choose a date to go to the place you have chosen, put it on your calendar and go there. After the trip, evaluate what you did. Discuss what went well and what you would do differently on the next trip.

How will you travel from place to place? What type of money is used in the country? Did finding out about the country make you want to visit it more? Share your dream vacation with a friend. Does he or she want to come, too?
Pretend you are a travel agent or a tour director. Help one of the groups listed below plan a trip to your town or state.

Say a representative from an orisa community in Brazil is visiting your city for the first time. You have been chosen to be her host, and you will decide what she will see during her two-week visit. If you could take her anywhere in your area, what would you take her to see? What are your reasons for the sights and activities on your itinerary?
