I think a lot of times we end up traveling to visit family to get away from it all why don’t you tell everyone about our latest vacation? we met up with your parents and sister we had more of a beach vacation it didn’t really feel like Christmas There were park rangers passing out / giving out free sunglasses we are thinking about going away this summer I have always wanted to travel to somewhere different We nearly went while we were living in Spain That was the time to go I mean, I think that once you start a family… Take advantage of this time right now We’ve been talking a lot with our son about koala bears and kangaroos I would love to travel around Asia as well I haven’t been to anywhere in Asia. You have been all the way down to Patagonia And he got excited about that I don’t really know, to be honest I remember being in my mum’s arms I remember seeing our neighbor Are you gonna remember this? She’ll have the video to look back on it used to take us 3 days to get to the south of France we would spend about two weeks there. they had sports going on there was a big heat wave that’s what I remember about it that’s something that we take for granted it doesn’t get that hot my family and family friends would rent a house on an island we would drive and take a ferry out to the island we would grill seafood at night my mom actually grew up going there when she was a kid too when was the first time you went abroad? do you remember? my father actually passed away when I was in college Do you remember the journey? it was the most exciting thing that had ever happened to me ... the novelty of everything - being able to look out an airplane window my uncle used to fly back and forth I’m getting confused we got bumped up to first class have you seen some of those recent pictures it just looks incredible that would make flying with small children worth it. Yeah, no, definitely. it’s hard, isn’t it, with small children you just never know what you’re going to get You mentioned Morocco before as an ideal place to go on vacation. I was gonna. I was thinking about this while we’ve been having this discussion When I went traveling, I was on my own. I had a tiny backpack. Oh, so much easier on my own. I was worried that you were going to say that. When you are on your own, you have your stuff and that’s it. if you’re like you just don’t want to talk to someone if you wanna be outgoing, you can meet other people it’s more fun traveling with someone You get to share your experiences Shall we wrap it up? I’ve put you on the spot DISCUSSION We used 'remember' a lot in this video. We also used 'used to' and 'would't to talk about the past. What about you. Where would you go if you could go anywhere? And do you prefer to take a lot of things with you or travel light? LEARN MORE Join TFP - https://www.tofluency.com/tfp/ - to get premium audio and drills.
