9. Be the Travel Agent!
Marty would like to visit Iceland with his teenage son. He’s on a budget, but would like to see as much as possible during a week-long visit to Iceland in September. He especially loves hiking and would like to see some hot springs. He’s keen to try some authentic Icelandic dishes too.
Mindy is celebrating her retirement and planning this solo trip as a treat. She doesn’t know where she wants to go, but she knows that she wants to travel for two weeks in June. She would like to go somewhere exotic (and outside the USA for the first time) , where she can relax and see some interesting local sights. Her interests are cookery and yoga.
