Getting Started Guide

The fields we need for the first report from the Vacations table are: Date, Motel, Toll,
Breakfast, Lunch, Supper, SnackCost, and Miscellaneous. This report will not require
an additional query.
The second report involves the Fuel table. Since this table includes fuel purchases at
times other than during the vacation, we need to create a query that contains only
the fuel purchased during the vacation.
