Travelling
Dialogue:
Tom:
Hey Emma, are you ready for the trip? I think we need to sort out our flight details and check in online before we leave.
Emma:
Yeah, I’ve been meaning to do that. I just need to figure out what time we need to be at the airport. I don’t want to run into any problems with check-in or security.
Tom:
Good idea! We should set off early so we have plenty of time. I don’t want to be rushed at the airport. Also, don’t forget to pick up your passport from the drawer!
Emma:
Right! I always forget the little things. I’ll definitely double check everything before we go. We should also go over the travel itinerary again, just to make sure we don’t miss anything important.
Tom:
Sounds like a good plan. Once we arrive, we need to pick up the rental car and head over to the hotel. I’m looking forward to exploring the city.
Emma:
Me too! After we check in at the hotel, I think we should hit up some of the local restaurants. I’ve heard the food there is amazing.
Tom:
Definitely! We should also make sure to get around the city and see all the major attractions. I want to check out that museum we talked about.
Emma:
Yeah, and we should also take in the views from the top of that famous tower. I’ve heard it has an incredible panorama of the whole city!
Tom:
