An aging billionaire is offering a prize to a team of travelers who will plan the best adventurous trip.  He can no longer travel and he wants to enjoy travel vicariously (by watching someone else's travel adventure). He will pay for and participate from his home in the best adventure submitted to him. The billionaire is very exacting in his expectations.

The first step in the application process will test your writing skills. Your experience in descriptive writing will help you.

The next step will require careful figuring of money and time zones. All of the skills that are needed are things you have done in school. The instructions for the report are very specific and can be found in the Application Process.

Finally you will make a video tape to convince the mystery billionaire of the value of your trip.  He has provided a scoring guide that will help guide you in preparing your presentation.
