Tim: Congratulations on getting married! Where do you plan to go on your honeymoon? Beth: We're going to travel for a month. We plan to leave for Hawaii next week. After that, we will fly to Costa Rica. From there, we will travel to Mexico. Tim: Sounds fun! Are you planning to go scuba diving? Beth: I wanted to go, but my new husband's afraid of sharks. Tim: But aren't the touristy places designed to be safe? Beth: I know I told him not to be so paranoid, but he's still not ready. He's not as used to swimming as I am, so he doesn't feel as comfortable in the water. Tim: You'll have to lie on the beach then. That's not so bad. Beth: Yeah, we plan to lie on the beach a lot. But he also wants to go ziplining. I'm trying to decide if I can handle that. Tim: You should try to go. People say that's a lot of fun. Beth: Yeah, except I like to look down and see ground under my feet. I'm as afraid of heights as he is of sharks! |
