Dad — Is there anything interesting on TV tonight?
Mum — Yes, there is something about Israel.
Dad — You love travelling, don't you? Listen, Mum, why don't we go somewhere on a long journey? We are on holidays, aren't we?
Mum — Oh yes, I'd love a voyage. We can go somewhere in Africa, South America or Asia.
Dad — You know I don't like sailing. I'm not a very good sailor.
Mum — What about motoring?
Dad — There's only a problem. We don't have a motorbike. Do you prefer to apply to a travel agency or to organize our own journey ?
Mum — I think that if we get an up-to-date guidebook, we will be able to choose our own route. And, as we have a lot of time, we can go hiking.
Dad — Come on Mum, hiking is very slow and we are not so young to go on foot. I prefer to hitch-hike. It is good to go for a long walk now and then.
Mum — But nobody will pick us up.
Dad — There's always someone's help.
Mum — You're so positive. OK. We must get everything ready before we leave.
Dad — We need nothing but the guidebook and some money.
Mum — It's true. Didn't we talk about this journey yesterday?
Dad — Yes, we do it every day.
