Using Information

The third step in the I-SEARCH process is using information. At this stage one describes the journey about finding and using information, which can be accomplished by notes and analysis of resources.

I leave on February 23 at 8:04 pm, and arrive in Copenhagen 4:00pm the next day. That does not give me much time to do something the first day, so I plan on eating and visiting the Little Mermaid statue. The two-way ticket and five nights at a hotel costs $1,839.42. The Little Mermaid is free and eating dinner should cost about DKK 250.

The next day I planned eating a meal included in the price of the hotel. Then I would spend the day touring castles. There is a Hamlet Tour Castle that takes about six hours and costs $98. The price does not include food are transportation to the starting point. So I would add about DKK 500.

The next day includes traveling to another city, Billund. Traveling to Billund and back will take some time, and the rest of the day would be spent at Legoland. Admission is DKK 309 for adults. I have to include food and travel fare. Train tickets are around $30 and the trip is three hours each way. To eat, I would bring DKK 500.

The next day I would travel to the Copenhagen Temple and attend services there. This is free, but I would have to bike or take public transportation to get to the temple. Then I plan on attending the National Gallery and the Tivoli Gardens. The first place is free, but the second costs DKK 99.

The next day is my last day of touring Copenhagen, Denmark. I plan on touring the canals of Copenhagen for DKK 75. The same day I would take an English language tour of sites used in the films and television shows like The Killing, Borgen, and the Bridge. This tour costs DKK 150, which is the same price as a T-shirt.

The last day includes going to the airport and traveling back to Indianapolis.

Now I have to add up the cost of the trip. The trip and Castle tour are in US currency. They add up to about $1,997.42. All the Danish currency items equal DKK 633. Then I must find the cost of traveling within Denmark and the price of five dinners. The dinners equal DKK 1250. Travel and sounevoirs would cost about the same, DKK 1250. All total: DKK 3133 or $477.62. Total estimated cost of the trip is $2,475.04.
