My Flight My flight: *the book a flight a month from now, it would cost 447 dollars, round trip. (flying Delta) *To book a flight tomorrow, the cheapest flight would cost 474 dollars, but to fly Delta, it would cost 2,630. This difference in price is because it is such a last minute plan. *The flight will be about ten hours and forty-five minutes long. -This flight is quite long, and the cost is quite great. For this reason, I would recommend someone to stay for at least a week. Exchange Rate: The exchange rate of Spanish Euros to US dollars is one US dollars to .75 Euros. http://photos.igougo.com/images/p384824-Fort_Lauderdale-Airplane.jpg Do I need a passport?: Yes, you do!
How much will my foodand stay cost me? • Staying at the Vincci Hotel in Madrid cost 132 American dollars per night. *Food in Spain costs relatively the same as food in the US cost.

I recommend you bring… Spring lasts from March to May and has warm days and cooler nights. Recommend that you bring pants or capris. A sweatshirt or light jacket. Summer lasts from June to August, half the summer is pleasant, while the other half is very hot. I recommend you to bring shorts and tank tops as well as sandals and a bathing suit. Fall lasts from September to November. It is not hot, but not too cold. Rain is common at this time of year. Bringing pants and long sleeved shirts would be wise, as well as a sweatshirt. Don’t forget your umbrella. Winter lasts from December to March and is usually cold and dry; some snow accumulates. Bring a jacket and boots is recommended. Long sleeve shirt, pants, and sweaters would be useful.
