Vacation Plans: Airplane, Train and Bus Travel
(DailyESL.com 2010)
http://www.dailyesl.com/travel-plans.htm
Before I go on vacation, I always plan my trip.
For starters, I usually take a look at travel guide books or go online and review possible destinations.
Then, I check the costs involved in travelling to that particular place.
If I'm going by plane, then I have to compare prices on airfare for different airlines.
If I'm travelling by train, then I have to look into train passes or tickets. I also need to locate hotel
accommodations. Fortunately, I don't mind staying at cheap hotels or even a youth hostel.
Finally, I try to budget money for meals and other sightseeing expenses. If I plan carefully, I usually have
a good time.
