Friends having conversation about travel experience
Ravi: Hey man. How’s life?
Umesh: It’s all good. How’s it going?
Ravi: Well, you know what I ran into Javed yesterday and he’s going to be holidaying in Europe. Actually, he says he would be gone for three months.
Umesh: Wow! That’s amazing. He would be spending three months at exotic destinations.
Ravi: Yeah, he’s gonna spend his vacation in three different countries – Denmark, Switzerland and Spain.
Umesh: Trip to three Euro nations, that’s my bucket list.
Ravi: Seriously, don’t fret… you will fulfill your bucket list pretty soon.
Umesh: Yeah, I hope so. Have you been to Europe?
Ravi: Europe’s awesome. I guess…. did I tell you I spent 4 months in Spain? Back then I was working on a project.
Umesh: Really, get out of here. You sly dog, you never said anything about Spain dude?
Ravi: I guess…. I never told you. I did spend entire summer in Barcelona and Seville?
Umesh: Oh, nice. How’s the whole experience?
Ravi: The experience was just out of this world. I learnt some Spanish as well.
Umesh: That’s great.
Ravi: Yeah, and you know what, now when I look back and think that was the best trip ever. I met some interesting people there. I hooked up with an American chick in Seville who used to come in Spanish class. She showed me around and we had a great time
Umesh: Dude, you never mentioned this before.
Ravi: Yeah, well, I thought it wasn’t a big deal.
Umesh: Well, it’s easy for you to say.
Ravi: You know, the most exciting thing I did was – Sky diving. It’s super scary and totally crazy.
Umesh: Yeah, I can only imagine.
Ravi: Yeah, when you’re up in the air, you have this total sense of freedom. Everything vanishes in the face of death. I broke out in a cold sweat but I did it anyways. I would love to try it again sometime.
Umesh: This time we both gonna try it together in tandem.
Ravi: Sure man. I am kind of excited about it.
Umesh: Me too. I am all psyched up for adventure sports.
Ravi: Yeah, you should never miss out on such a thrilling opportunity.
Umesh: So, let’s plan something this month. My schedule is wide open.
Ravi: Sure, I will give a call once I firm up the details.
Umesh: That’s cool. See you.
Ravi: Adios mi amigo.
Umesh: Ah, Spanish. Si Amigo. [laughs]
