Program help (beginner)

[Borman, Linda E]

Hi I am having problems with a program. Can you help.
see attachment and below for the code. Program using a function and using
"if, elif, else" 
 
What I'm trying to accomplish is to ask the user to enter there destination
with a choice of North, South, East, West.
When they have enter the destination, the reply will be "You have choosen
XXXXX", then it will ask the user "Please hit enter to find out what to
expect."  
 
 
What I want to happen when they hit enter is to have the program choose the
appropriate statement.
Example if they enter "North" the reply will be: "You must want to be cold"
Example if they enter "South" the reply will be: "You must want to be hot"
Example if they enter "West" the reply will be: "You must want to be in the
fog"
Example if they enter "East" the reply will be: "You must want to be in the
rain"
See below code

 
def travel_dest (direction):
    
    if direction1 (north):
        print "north"
    elif direction2 (south):
        print "south"
    elif direction3 (west):
        print "west"
    elif direction4 (east):
        print "east"
    else:
        print "You do not know where you want to go, huh!"
 
def Travel_location (area):
    if area1 (north):
        print "You must want to be cold"
    elif area2 (south):
        print "You must want to be hot"
    elif area3 (west):
        print "You must want to be where there migh be fog"
    elif area4 (east):
        print "You must want to be where there might be rain"
    else:
        print "You do not know where you want to go, huh!"
 

   
print "\nPlease enter the destination of where you would like to go." 
direction = raw_input("\nChoose North, South, West or East.")
print "\nYou have choosen:", direction
 
area = raw_input ("\n\nPlease hit enter to find out what to expect.")

print "\nHere is your results:"
raw_input ("Press the enter key to exit.")
