Peter: Hello, Jane. It's so good you're here. I've been looking for you.

Jane: Hi, Peter. What's up?

Peter: Well, I wanted to ask you about your plans for the holidays. Have you decided what to do yet?

Jane: Actually, I haven't.

Peter: Jane, if you want this summer to be truly unforgettable, you must go travel somewhere.

Jane: I guess so. The good thing is that I can afford it as I have saved a good sum of money plus my granny gave me a generous cheque for my birthday last week.

Peter: Well, I have enough money to travel too, so I thought we could plan a trip together. Certainly it will be more fun and not so dangerous this way.

Jane: Oh, Peter, your offer is just on time as my best friend has just told me she won't be able to be my travel companion this summer.

Peter: So we have to decide on where to go. I was thinking about something unusual. What would you say if I suggested going to Russia for about two weeks?

Jane: Russia? I say, Peter, it's not half a bad idea. I've always wanted to see Moscow, the capital of the country.

Peter: Yes, we could start it from there. Still, I believe there are many interesting places in Russia besides Moscow.

Jane: I think we can book a hotel in Moscow and see its main sights, and then make short trips to the nearby cities and towns like Smolensk or Tula.

Peter: It sounds good to me. Still, we must keep it in mind that Russia is a huge country, and two weeks is certainly not enough to see it all.

Jane: What we need is planning our trip carefully. I don't think we know much about Russia, so we need to buy some guidebooks or surf the net. Personally, I don't want to hire a guide. I'd really love to explore the country on my own.

Peter: That sounds very tempting. But won't it be difficult for us? We don't know Russian.

Jane: Oh, come on, Peter. Russia is a civilised country. Everybody there speaks at least some English, I'm sure.

Peter: OK. I say, Jane, there may be some good guidebooks on Russia in our city library. We may look them through and make a rough itinerary of our future trip. Then we can surf the net at home for more details.

Jane: Fine then. We mustn't forget about applying for a visa and booking plane tickets. That might take us some time too.

Peter: OK. Let's do it first thing tomorrow.

Jane: Settled
