| Jacquie: | Hey, long time, no see! How was your trip? |
| Melanie: | Hi, Jacquie, good to see you, too. The trip went well, for the most part… |
| Jacquie: | Why, was there anything wrong? |
| Melanie: | Well, my boss gave me the green light with my vacation pretty late, so I had little time to plan it all out. |
| Jacquie: | No way, I thought you had it all booked in advance! |
| Melanie: | Not really, we had no idea which hotel would be best, so we just took pot luck with the first one on the list. |
| Jacquie: | Oh, and did turn out ok? |
| Melanie: | It was nice and clean, but quite far from the beach. |
| Jacquie: | That’s tough luck, I guess, especially with a baby. |
| Melanie: | Yeah, the baby didn’t like the warm climate much, but she seemed to get tired more and slept a lot, so there was a silver lining to it. |
| Jacquie: | Well, that’s good news! |
| Melanie: | It was a sweet escape anyway… Now I am back to work and I have to get a lot done. |
| Jacquie: | Good luck with that! I think you’ll catch up in no time! |
