Continue Collecting Data
Continue Collecting Data
Your goal is to have at least 10 total expenses (including the hotel/airplane costs from yesterday).
Spend today finding expenses for Phred's trip.
Below are some examples I found continuing on the location I chose.
The Hotel
Our focus today is to continue collecting data for Phred. Yesterday, you should have found a hotel and flight for him.
On the right, you can see the hotel I've chosen for Phred; Pousada Vila Toá in Alto Paraíso de Goiás, which is near the attraction I chose (Chapada dos Veadeiros).
You should have chosen a hotel near your attraction (your national park or other place to visit).
How much will his hotel cost?
Mines a bit more than I expected...
That is in Brasilian Real, not USD (United States Dollars). A quick google search of BR to USD will give me a converter on Google.
So, about $1112 USD for 6 nights/7 days.
Better, but still a bit pricey.
There may be additional taxes, there often is on hotels. I'm going to add an extra $100 for potential taxes.
So, for this section, I have:
- $1112
- $100
That's 2 expenses.
The Flight
How much is his flight?
You can search for a flight a number of different ways. I'm using Expedia for mine, because I'm going to get him a car rental at the same time.
Phred will need to get around, this could be by renting a car, or by Taxi/Uber/etc. This will be additional expenses.
Alto Paraíso in Goiás is near the attraction I chose (Chapada dos Veadeiros), and its where the hotel is. However, I can't choose it for an airline ticket. This happens sometimes. Instead, I'll need to choose a larger nearby city; it suggests Brasília.
So, we'll get Phred to Brasilia, and then after, we have to get him to his hotel. Below, you can see the flight I found for Phred.
It's for $1842 USD.
However, this probably isn't the total price. I'm going to guess there will probably be additional taxes. I'll add an extra $100 for that.
Is there a visa fee to get into Brazil?
There is. It's $80.90 USD
Also, there's usually baggage fees, and Phred probably needs a suitcase. Let's see if Delta has checked baggage fees?
Google tells me its $35 USD for a checked bag.
So, for this section, I have an additional:
- $1842
- $100
- $80.90
- $35
That's 4 expenses, with the previous 2 I'm at 6 total.
To and From the Airport
How does he get to and from the airport?
That's more money of course.
To go from Brasilia to his hotel, I'm just going to get him a rental car from the airport.
Of course there will probably be more taxes and there is the cost of gas, so I'll add a bit on top of that. It's a pretty far drive from Brasilia's airport to the hotel.
So, I'll add an extra $100 USD for taxes, and an extra $200 USD for gas.
So that's to get from the airport in Brazil to his destination, but how does he get to our airport?
I'm going to use a Taxi Calculator to get a price estimate.
Phred got to our planet via Space travel, so he's going to start at Johnson Space Center and fly out of Bush Intercontinental Airport. How much does that cost... Taxi Calulcator estimates $118.80
So, for this section, I have an additional:
- $264
- $100
- $200
- $118
That's an additional 4 expenses, and with the prior 6, I'm now at 10. That's the goal, I can stop here if I want.
I don't need these exact expenses, I could have used others if I wanted.
You can look into food or other things too if you want to find other values, or if you find any of these difficult to find for your Phred's adventure. Maybe Phred needs a suitcase, buying one could be an expense. Maybe Phred needs a starbucks at the airport, that could be an expense.
