P = Patricia, B = Barbara 

P

  Hi. Is that you, Barbara? This is Pat Walsh. We 

talked a couple of days ago about your upcoming 

vacation. 

B 

Oh hi, Pat. How’re you doing? 

P

  I’m good. Hey, listen, I found you a great place 

to go! It’s called Costa do Sauípe in northeast 

Brazil. It’s this private resort with a fantastic beach 

area about one hour north of Salvador. There are 

five hotels with incredibly spacious bedrooms, a 

huge TV and I can tell you, it’s real luxurious.  

B

  Sounds great. What kind of activities are 

there? Do they organize things for us to do? Hank 

and I just don’t want the kids to get bored – you 

know what teenagers are like. 

P

  You don’t need to worry about that – there’ll be 

plenty for your boys to do, like volleyball and 

windsurfing on the beach which is right next to 

your hotel, tennis, aqua gym, horse-riding – they 

have their own equestrian centre – and, you 

know, for eating out there’s a really wide choice – 

fifteen restaurants, French, Italian, Japanese and 

Brazilian food.
