Jim:	Hey Michelle. Good to see you. Are you at lunch?

Michelle:	Oh hi Jim. No I just got back. I thought you were on vacation now.

Jim:	No, I wish I was! I just got back from Spain actually.

Michelle:	Oh wonderful! Have you been there before or was it your first time?

Jim:	My first time. I've traveled around Europe a lot, but this was my first time to Spain. It was amazing, and the weather was just beautiful! No rain, and just sun, sun, sun....

Michelle:	I'm so jealous of you. I've never been anywhere in Europe. I've always dreamed of traveling around and seeing the sights.

Jim:	Well, I really recommend Spain. You really should go.Anyway, it's been great to catch up, but I must be going, this is my floor. Speak again soon I hope.

Michelle:	For sure. Take care.
