Introduction

You work for a major company that just invented a small aircraft that can take off and land anywhere. Your company has decided to let you use one of these planes for the next few weeks. They want you to take a vacation while working on a company project. Your job is to research US national parks and choose 10 parks in 10 different states that you want to fly your company plane to. Before you leave, you need to know the location (latitude and longitude) of each national park and create a map that indicates the trip you will travel. Your company will need to know the vector direction you will be traveling to get from one national park to the next. You will begin and end your mission in Phoenix, AZ.
