    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.
