Lesson #70: Holiday Plans

Email me: [email protected]: Holiday Plans Amina: Hey Lamia! Long time no see. What are you up to these days?Lamia: Oh, hey Amina! Not much, just trying to survive this crazy week at work. I can’t wait for the holidays. I’m going on vacation to Constantine. I’m super excited about that. I can’t wait to walk over the bridges and under them, and to really take in this medieval city.  What about you? Got any plans lined up?Amina: Well… not really. I’ve been thinking about taking a trip too, but I keep going back and forth.Leo: Why? You always talk about wanting to explore the country a bit more. Where were you thinking of going?Amina: My cousin invited me to visit her in Bejaia, but I don’t know… it feels like a big hassle. Flights, packing, expenses—it all adds up.Lamia: Come on, don’t talk yourself out of it already! When was the last time you actually took a real vacation?Amina: Hmm… I guess about six years ago. But things are different now. I’ve got so much on my plate.Lamia: You always say that! You need to take a breather. If you keep burning the candle at both ends, you’ll crash.Amina: I know, you’re right. I just feel guilty when I take time off.Lamia: Guilty? For what? Everyone needs to recharge their batteries. You’ve been running non-stop for years.Amina: Maybe. I thought about staying home, catching up on some reading, or cleaning up the apartment.Lamia: Cleaning up the apartment? That doesn’t sound like much of a holiday!Amina: Yeah, I guess you’re right. But I’m not sure I want to deal with airports and crowds either.Lamia: Fair enough. What if you just take a short trip somewhere nearby? Get out of town for a couple of days, nothing fancy.Amina: Hmm, that might actually work. Maybe I could drive down to the lake. I haven’t been there in ages.Lamia: There you go! Just pack light and hit the road. You don’t have to go far to get a change of scenery.Amina: You make it sound so easy. Maybe I’ll give it a shot.Lamia: That’s the spirit! Don’t overthink it. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you don’t plan too much for.
