Karen:	That’s a good idea, Debbie. I’m really excited about travelling to Holland together this summer. Why don’t we write down our plans? It’ll help us get organized for the trip.
Debbie:	Great idea! Let’s start. First, where are we going to stay?
Karen:	What do you prefer – a hotel or a youth hostel?
Debbie:	Well, I prefer a hotel, a course, but hotels are too expensive for us. Let’s reserve a room in a youth hostel.
Karen:	I agree with you on that. We haven’t got enough money to stay in a hotel. Next, what about the type of transport we’re going to use?
Debbie:	I read that Holland has got excellent public transport. They’ve got buses, trams and underground trains. You simply buy a Strippen Card.
Karen:	A what?
Debbie:	A Strippen Card. It’s a ticket. You can use it for all the different types of public transport. It’s a great thing, because you don’t have to buy a ticket every time you get on a bus, a tram or a train. And it isn’t expensive.
Karen:	Well, you certainly have done your homework, Debbie! How much do these Strippen Cards cost?
Debbie:	Um… a card for one day of travel costs 6 and a half Euros. That means that you can tour the cities by tram, by bus or on the underground train for a whole day and night – for just 6 and a half Euros.
Karen:	Great.
Debbie:	OK, Karen. Now, how about going on the Internet and ordering tickets for some of the things we want to see and do?
Karen:	Right now? You certainly are the planner today! I’m tired from just thinking about getting on all those buses, trams and trains!
