# Assignment: PDM$4$

Read the following description of a meeting.

$***$Grace Wong$**$: We need to select a destination for the first business tour. We would like to market this as an employee incentive trip. So far, Hawaii, Bermuda, and Las Vegas have been mentioned.$*$

$***$Derek Opazo$**$: Bermuda has a lot to offer.$*$

$***$Eric Jamison$**$: I agree. Bermuda is a good idea.$*$

$***$Sharon Rodriguez$**$: It doesn$$t really matter, does it$?$ We$$re on a fairly tight deadline here, and I think we should just pick a destination and go with it$.*$

$***$Eric Jamison$**$: Derek picked a destination, and I seconded it$.*$

$***$Grace Wong$**$: What do other people think about Bermuda?$*$

$***$Nancy McDonald$**$: I think Bermuda is fine, though Las Vegas might be easier for our first tour. Maybe we should compare what Bermuda and Las Vegas have to offer.$*$

$***$Sharon Rodriguez$**$: That will take hours! We really need to settle this today. We don$$t have time for another meeting.$*$

$***$Derek Opazo$**$: If we do decide on Bermuda, I can modify an itinerary I have for Bermuda and send it to everyone via e$-$mail. That will give us a head start on the promotional materials.$*$

$***$Eric Jamison$**$: That sounds great.$*$

$***$Grace Wong$**$: Okay, it sounds like we are selecting Bermuda as the destination for the first business tour. Any objections?$*$

$***$Nancy McDonald$**$: Fine with me$.*$

$***$Grace Wong$**$: Then Bermuda it is$.*$
