W: Well, I thought we should go traveling by ship for a change, so I booked two ship tickets instead.

M: You should have told me or discussed it with me.

W: I wanted to give you a surprise. Don't you like the idea?

M: I like it all right, but it takes much more time to travel by ship than by plane.

W: We have time, don't we? Every time we went on a trip, we were always tied down by schedules. This time will be different. We don't have to rush.

M: You're right. This is our first trip since you retired. We can travel as long as we like.

W: We'll have an easy trip and enjoy every minute.

M: Have you bought traveler's cheques yet?

W: Not yet. I'll go to the bank tomorrow.

M: I'll go with you.
