Jamal: Have you found a place for us to stay in Chicago?



Erin: I’m still exploring the options. Instead of a run-of-the-mill chain hotel, I thought we could do something different.



Jamal: How different?



Erin: I thought we might stay in a cabin near the lake.



Jamal: A cabin? That sounds a little too rustic 1 for me. My days of roughing it in hostels 2 or fleabag motels are over. A cabin sounds like it would be in the same league.



Erin: Oh, I don’t know. There are some very nice cabins, and even if they’re less than luxurious 3, I don’t mind staying in a modest place. We can’t afford an expensive boutique hotel, you know.



Jamal: I know that, but there are a lot of other options. We could stay in a bed and breakfast or a vacation rental 4. Remember the bed and breakfast we stayed in in Montreal?



Erin: Yeah, that was nice. Okay, you win. I was trying to appeal to your adventurous 5 spirit.



Jamal: My adventurous spirit is still here. It just needs the right inducement.
