Task 2: Imagine that two of your friends and family have decided to live a different experience and join one of these vacation programmes. Which one would you choose?

Some of the things that you may need to do are:

 A. Make a Budget

 B. Research plane tickets

 C. Decide the dates you want to leave and come back

 D. Buy luggage (list the items)

 E. Find out if you need immunization shots

 F. Decide if you will do any addtional traveling while you are there

 G. Plan for daily activities

2: I choose "Global Citizens Network", because in that vacation program, you visit another country, another culture, like Kenya, Nepal, Guatemala, Minnesota, etc...    . There you stay in a local family house; that is a good thing to know or see the situation of the people of that country. But the most important thing that you do is build things, that is also funny and make you feel good, because you are helping other.
