Travel agent: Hello, can I help you? Customer: Yes, we're looking for a holiday in November, somewhere hot - you know, near a beach and all that, but not too far away if possible. Travel agent: OK, well, what about going to the Canaries? They're warm throughout the year and they're very interesting.Customer: Yes, we thought that. In fact we saw this ad here for Tenerife - Playa de las Americas. It seemed very reasonable. Travel agent: OK, I'll check availability for you ... No, I'm sorry they've all gone. It was a special offer. There's plenty more choice in the Canaries, though. But, I wonder, have you thought of going to The Gambia? It's very reasonably priced and you're guaranteed sun. Customer: Yes, but it's a long flight, isn't it?Travel agent: It is a six-hour flight, you're right. OK, let's stay with the Canaries. What type of accommodation are you looking for? Something with a bit of life or something more relaxing? Customer: We want somewhere quiet but with some facilities - restaurants and things like that.Travel agent: How about La Gomera? It's a small island, very quiet but with things going on and very pretty. The only problem is that there are no direct flights, so you have to get a ferry from Tenerife. Customer: We've only got a week so we need somewhere with a direct flight.Travel agent: You could try Lanzarote. There are some very peaceful parts. I think you'd like it. We often recommend Playa Blanca - there's a great hotel there called the Lanzarote Princess. All the usual facilities, near the beach, but very tastefully designed and built. Here's a picture - it's fairly cheap as well, as you can see. Customer: Sounds good.Travel agent: I'll check availability for you ... Would you want a twin room with a balcony? Customer: Yes.Travel agent: Bed and breakfast or half-board?Customer: Er... I'm not sure. Travel agent: If I were you, I'd choose B&B, then you can eat out in the restaurants at night. That way you'll see a bit of the local life.Customer: OK - bed and breakfast. Travel agent: I'm sorry, did you say you wanted a balcony?Customer: Yes, we did. Travel agent: OK. There's availability on the 14th of November. Flight from Gatwick at 09.35 arriving 13.30 local time. Returning on the 21st of November, departing Lanzarote 15.00 and arriving at Gatwick at 19.00.Customer: That's good - no night flights. Travel agent: Do you want to confirm it?Customer: Can we think about it? Travel agent: Of course. I can put a 24-hour hold on your reservation, and you can let me know tomorrow. Customer: Yes, that's a good idea. We're not committed then, are we? Travel agent: No, you're not. You can make your minds up in your own time. Can I just take some details? What name is it?Customer: John and Amanda Hollins. Travel agent: That's H-O-L-L-I-N-S?Customer: Right.Travel agent: And a daytime phone number?
