The fields we need for the first report from the Vacations table are: Date, Motel, Toll,<br />

Breakfast, Lunch, Supper, SnackCost, and Miscellaneous. This report will not require<br />

an additional query.<br />

The second report involves the Fuel table. Since this table includes fuel purchases at<br />

times other than during the vacation, we need to create a query that contains only<br />

the fuel purchased during the vacation.<br />
