- 1 ESL Podcast 281 – All-Inclusive Vacations
Mei: Let’s go on an all-inclusive vacation to a resort in Jamaica!
Guy: I’d like to go to Jamaica, but I don’t know about going to an all-inclusive resort.
Mei: It saves so much time in planning. With these vacation packages, all of our lodging 1 is included and we don’t have to pay extra for anything. For one fixed 2 price, we get unlimited 3 food and drinks, and all of the activities and entertainment we want.
Guy: It sounds a little too predictable to me. You know that when I travel, I like to go off the beaten track. The fun is in going out of the tourist areas to find the real character of a place.
Mei: I know, but a resort has its pluses. If we pick a good resort, we’ll know that everything will be first rate. There won’t be any problems with substandard amenities 4 or service.
Guy: That may all be true, but I’m still not convinced. I’d rather keep looking until we find a good compromise that will have the predictability you want and the spontaneity that I want.
Mei: Okay, but we agree on Jamaica, right?
Guy: Yeah, that’s right. It’s Jamaica or bust 5!
