# vacation plans
--Hey Gary, how are you?
--I'm good, Karen. Holidays are coming. What are your plans?
--Well, I guess I'll be going to Alabama this time. It's been years since I last went there.
--That sounds cool. Will you be staying at a relative's?
--Yup. My grandma lives there. It's been a long time since I saw her. I'm so excited!
--Alabama is a nice place. How long do you plan to stay?
--Maybe a couple of weeks.
--I'm sure you'll enjoy your vacation, Karen.
--Yeah, I sure hope so. Thanks!
# telling your friend about your trip
--Hey Gary, how have you been?
--I'm good, Karen. How was your trip to Alabama?
--Oh, I don't know where to start. It was awesome! Alabama was such a beautiful place and I met my grandma after a very long time!
--So, tell me something about what you did there.
--Oh sure. I visited some wine farms to see how they make wine. I also went to some wine bottling plants. In the evening, I would go on treks. I had an amazing time!
--That is so cool. Did you try some wine too?
--Yes. I tasted different types, but I didn't drink too much. My folks were around.
--That's really nice. I guess I should really go to Alabama someday!
--Yes. You should do that, Gary. You will definitely love the place.
--Sure. Maybe next time you can tell me when you're going and we'll go together!

# talking to a travel agent
--Hi, I'm planning a trip and I need some information.
--Sure, Sir. Do you have a destination in mind?
--My friend just came back from Alabama. Will it be a good choice?
--It's a great choice around this time of the year. We have economical packages which include airfare, accommodation and meals.
--Nah. I just need the air-tickets. I've found a place to stay from airbnb.com
--Sure. No problem. When do you plan to go?
--Do you have any good deals for next week?
--Yep! I could find you a great deal on one of the no-frill airlines.
--Fantastic! Please do that.
