| Len: | Once we are done with all the renovations this summer, I am ready for some major down time. |
| Yuliana: | You really need that. It might be a good idea to travel somewhere to unwind, eh? |
| Len: | Yeah, I’ve been checking a couple of places to go to, but I think I will stick with my all-time favorite spot. |
| Yuliana: | You want to go to the same place again? I’d rather try something else for a change. |
| Len: | To me, some resorts are just eye candy. They have some nice things, but I only need bed and board to have a relaxing holiday. |
| Yuliana: | I wish I could do that, but I am so pulled to the Internet. You know, I manage my own business, and I can hardly spend a day without sending emails or answering phone calls… |
| Len: | All this multitasking is no good for you. You really need to unplug for some time. |
| Yuliana: | Yeah, right, who’s going to check my inbox then? |
| Len: | At least for a few days! Come on, I will make sure there are no hot spots at the place we are going to! |
