I chose to plan a trip to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico because it is very pretty and sunny. It is a fun place to experience new cultures and try new activities. I planned to go July 11th, and stay three nights. I will spend a lot of time at the beach, as Mexico beaches have warm water and sun! 

I depart at 6:00AM on July 11th from Vancouver and arrive at 2:55PM on the same day in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. 

on June 12th, I plan to go swimming with the dolphins at 12PM

On June 13th I plan to go to a Mexican market at 11AM to go shopping for souvenirs 

The rest of the time I plan on being at the beach or in the hotel lounge as this is a short trip and I don’t want to over book myself with activities in my short amount of time here. 

The hotel I’m staying at is called the Samba Vallarta All Inclusive 

To go from place to place I will be taking taxis / cabs. 

The room is $328 /night

The food and drinks are all included so the price of the hotel room per night covers the price of meals and snacks. 

Flight total = $683.31

Hotel total (food included) = $984

Activities total = $228.52

other expenses (cab fare) =  $100

TOTAL = $1995.83

How I plan to save to save for this trip is to save $500 every year for 4 years.
