Vocabulary: Taking a holiday
When planning a holiday, we have two possibilities: going to a travel agency, giving
your precise requirements to the agents and hoping they will be able to give you
satisfaction, or deciding to plan and book, everything on your own. Then you will
have to be very precise concerning the choices you're making, the places you want
to visit and the comfort you'll need at your stopovers: 5 star-hotels, or living in
comfortable- but not luxury- lodges, with outdoor showers and composting toilets.
These may be very different experiences of the same adventure.
