(In the café, Cheryl and Bob ask the rest of the
Top Notch Travel staff to help them decide on a location for their honeymoon.)
Cheryl:
Everyone, we’d like to ask your opinion about something.
Mr.
Evans: What is that?
Cheryl:
We’re trying to decide where to go on vacation after the wedding, for our
honeymoon.
Bob:
WE thought you might be able to help us decide on a location.
Mr.
Evans: An excellent idea. Where are you thinking of going?
Cheryl:
Well, Bob doesn’t really like to travel, so he’s agreed to go wherever I want to
go, as long as the hotel has nice bathrooms and a TV.
Mr.
Evans: That sounds fair. What’s your first choice?
Cheryl:
I’ve always wanted to go to Cozumel, off the Yucatan Peninsula.
Paul:
Cozumel is spectacular. The island itself is pretty flat, but the beaches are
beautiful and the ocean is o blue.
Marie:
Aren’t there too many sharks to go swimming there?
Paul:
No! It’s very safe. What? Oh! But it’s somewhat overrated.
Bob:
You just said ...
Mr.
Evans: What else are you thinking of?
Cheryl:
What about Tierra del Fuego in the south of Argentina and Chile?
Paul:
The scenery is extraordinary! The mountain ranges and national parks are
breathtaking.
Marie:
But in June, won’t it be too dark
to do very much?
Paul:
No! Plenty of people go there in June to go skiing or ... But, of course, it’s
probably not romantic enough for a honeymoon.
Cheryl:
I’ve heard the jungles and rain forests in Malaysia are a must-see.
Paul:
They’re so lush.... Of course, some people feel that the scorpions make it too dangerous to hike.
Bob:
We could go to that hotel on Grand Street along the river.
Cheryl:
stay in town? For our honeymoon?
Bob:
Well, I heard the rooms have really nice bathrooms and big televisions.
