Between 1998 and 2008, the petroleum industry raised 325 billion dollars. The Venezuelan Bolivar is the currency of Venezuela and $1 USD exchanges for 9.98750 VEF. The president of Venezuela is Nicolás Maduro.

My flight would start in Greensboro, has a stop in Miami, and land in Caracas, Venezuela. My ticket would be a $1,250 round trip ticket for a flight from June 19-26. 2019, offered by Envoy Air. 
·         I would stay at the Hotel Villa Playa Grande, a 3-star hotel located approximately 15 minutes away from the airport where I would land. The reviews are rather good, as the hotel, after 223 reviews maintains a 4-star customer rating. The rate is $52 USD a night.

However, there is no true set fare for service, so I will have to work out a fixed fare with the cabbie. I would have decided to take the buses, but I have found they can be very dangerous.

I just think that would be an incredible sight to see. I would want to visit Morrocoy National Park as it is a beautiful park which is also home to many species of exotic birds and other exotic animals such as monkeys. When I'm looking to find more historical sites for my tour of the country, I would look no further than the National Pantheon in Caracas. It is a very important building as it not only is the country’s most sacred shrine, but it also houses the remains of prominent Venezuelans, such as Simón Bolívar. Another place I have found interested in visiting is Galipan. Galipan is a town near Caracas that is located on Avila Mountain. The view is spectacular, as you can see Caracas and the coast from the top. There is also vendors at the top so you can eat as well and enjoy the sites. Another national park I found to be awesome was the Canaima National Park. This national park is filled with waterfalls, has 100 tepuis (table-top mountains) and covers 3 million hectares of land. The final place of my 6 favorite places to visit is another national park. The Medanos de Coro National Park is filled with sand dunes and is very desert-like, which would provide a completely different setting than the others I have on my list.

Lamentablemente, mi viaje tiene que llegar a su fin. Despedida Venezuela.]]> 2018-12-08 02:56:00 UTC https://padlet.com/lambrosgrayson/qhimenfr3p6i/wish/312457380 lambrosgrayson https://padlet.com/lambrosgrayson/qhimenfr3p6i/wish/312460019 I am going to factor the cost of my ticket into my budget so first of all:

3200-1250= $1950 USD to spend in Venezuela
Cost of hotel: 52 USD x 6 Nights= $312 USD
1950-312= $1638 Left
Allocating at least $35 USD per cab ride as a way to avoid having to continually come with new rates: $35 USD x 20 cab rides= $700
$1638-700= $938
Food: Eat free breakfast at the hotel every morning. Allocating $15 USD per meal 
2 meals x 7 days= 14 meals= $210 
938-210= $728 
I would then use the rest of my money if I found any merchandise such as shirts or tourist items to purchase. ]]> 2018-12-08 03:35:52 UTC https://padlet.com/lambrosgrayson/qhimenfr3p6i/wish/312460019 lambrosgrayson https://padlet.com/lambrosgrayson/qhimenfr3p6i/wish/312460521 2018-12-08 03:46:06 UTC https://padlet.com/lambrosgrayson/qhimenfr3p6i/wish/312460521
