Plan a ten-day trip to either Ireland or the US for the Easter break. You have a budget of €2000, including flights, accommodation, spending money, transport, food, entry fees for sites etc. Post a plan for your trip on your blog, explaining briefly where you have chosen to go and why.
Soo...
In the Easter break my friend Angi and I are gonna fly from Munich to NYC *yaay*. Since we only got to see Houston the last time we were in the States, this trip is surely gonna be aaaawesome!

Since we are gonna meet Cherry and Siggi (friends of my family) in Houston, we'll buy them presents before we leave for the US. Maybe we'll bring them Tyrolean bacon, wine, and some other cute things that represent Austria (will probably cost us around 20 Euros).
On April, 16 at 11.25 am our flight goes from Munich to Dublin and then from Dublin to NYC. We'll be in NYC at 6.00 pm, which means that we will be in the plane for 12 hours and 35 minutes *yay* *sarcasm off*. Just like two years ago, my dad will take us to the Airport in Munich, and Angi's family are going to pick us up once we get back. The flight will cost us 348 Euros....-> not too expensive :) Finally arrived, we will take a cab to the "Jazz on the Park" hostel, which is at the Central Park. Three days staying there will cost us 292.62 Euros. The trip from the JFK airport to our Hostel will cost 45.69 Euros. Since we share the costs though, this means that the stay in the Hostel will cost me actually 146.31 Euros and the Taxi ride 22.845 Euros.
In the "Jazz on the Park" hostel, Angi and I are gonna share the bedroom as well as the bathroom. We will arrive there in the evening on the 16th of April, so we are probably gonna be dead tired. Which means we will maybe just look through the rooms of the hostel and then go straight to bed. On April 17th, we are gonna get up early (seize the day :P ). I think most of the time we will buy food and something to drink in the morning in a grosery shop (meal+ breakfast) or so and have dinner in a restaurant (will probably cost 10 Euros or so). So approximately we will spend 20-25 Euros a day on food and drinks (75 Euros for 3 days).

Day 1:
On April 17th our sightseeing tour will start in the morning. We will mostly use the subways to get from place A to place B (2.75 Euros per ride). So in the morning we will take a subway train from Central Park to the Rockefeller Center. Afterwards, we will take a subway train to the 9/11 Memorial. Near the memorial we will sit down and have lunch. After that, we will take a subway train to Brooklyn Bridge. Then, we will take a subway train back to Central Park and walk to the St. Patrick's Cathedral. Looking at the St.Patrick's Cathedral will surely take some time (1-2 hours). I think this will be enough sights for one day. I bet we will be tired and our feet will hurt like hell, so we can go back to Central Park, sit or lie down and relaaaaax (maybe take a walk through the park or so). In the evening, we will have dinner in Chinatown. Again, we will have to take a subway train to get there and back to our hostel again.
Subway costs: 11 Euros

Day 2:
Subway costs: 16.5 Euros
Day 3-5
All in all this journey will take 39 hours, which is gonna be sooo exhausting. But for the most part we'll have beds and our own room, so it's not gonna be too bad. Also, we'll get to see a looot of different places in the US and always when we have to get out and wait for the next train to come, we have the chance to walk around and see some things. The trip to Longview will cost 710 Euros. Plus, the money we need for meals and drinks (about 30 -35 Euros). In Longview we'll be picked up by our friends and then we drive for another 3 hours or so to Houston. In Houston, we'll stay at our friends' place for free =).
So our journey to Houston will come to an end on April 21 at about 11.28 am. We are probably gonna be soo tired that we'll do nothing but play with the cute little dog at our friends' house all day and then go to bed early.
Day 6 (April 22)
Cherry and Siggi (our friends) will take us to our Chinese friends in Houston. There we will play singstar (just like the last time we were there), have lunch, and enjoy being together. In the evening, Angi and I are probably just gonna relax with Cherry and the dog and Cherry will probably cook for us =). In the evening, we're gonna go to the Movie theater with Angi (another Angi..she's from Houston). (20 Euros)
Day 7 (April 23)
yaaayyy... Splaaaashtown with EJ, Dereq and Emmanuel =). Just like the last time they will take us to this awesome waterpark. We'll be there the entire day and we'll have sooo much fun together! Last time the ticket cost like 15 Euros, so this will probably be the same. And we'll need another 10 Euros for something to eat and drink. In the evening Cherry is probably going to cook for us again.
Day 8 (April 24)
Cherry will take us to one of her anti-racism classes, where she teaches children how bad racism is. We will help her get the room ready for her presentation and then we'll watch her do her job :). For lunch we'll be invited to one of Cherry's friend's house. Hopefully there will be all those awesome ladies we met last time. In the afternoon we will go to Dereq and Em's house and play video games. In the evening, they'll take us out to paaartyyyyy (20 Euros for drinks).
Day 9 (April 25)
Cherry will take us to the biggest shopping mall in Dallas (NorthPark Center). There I'll buy little presents for my family and maybe also something not too expensive for myself (50 Euros). We'll go to a restaurant with Cherry and Siggi (and we'll pay for them -> 30 Euros [I'll pay for Cherry and myself + Angi will pay for Siggi and herself]). In the afternoon Cherry will show us the different neighborhoods in Houston and then we'll drive to downtown. There we'll just walk around and look at the different buildings. In the evening EJ, Dereq and Em will take us to the movie theater (20 Euros) and afterwards we'll go and have a Pizza (15 Euros).
Day 10 (April 26)
We'll sleep long, pack our things, enjoy the last day with Siggi, Cherry and the dog. We will cook together and at 19.50 we'll take the plane homewards. On April 27 at 15.55 we'll arrive in Istanbul. There we'll have to wait until 19.40. (We'll probably buy food and something to drink there --15 Euros---). Then we'll go get our plane and fly back home. At 21.30 our plane will arrive in Munich,where Angi's parents will already be waiting for us. The flight back home costs 400 Euros. So I'll have 48 Euros left =). Angi's parents will take me home, where I'll meet my parents and then instantly go to bed.
This trip will be sooo exhausting, but definitely worth it. In Houston, we'll have more time to relax, while in NYC we'll run from one sight to another.
I'm already so excited!! - meeting our friends again will be great!
