W: Hi, Jack. It's good to see you again. Are you ready to get down to business again after the spring break?
M: Not really, but I guess I don't really have too much choice, do I? And it's going to be particularly hard to get back to work since I just had the most fantastic vacation ever.
W: Really? What did you do?
M: I went kayaking on the Klamath River.
W: Kayaking?
M: Yes, you know what a kayak is, don't you? It's a long, narrow boat, the kind first used by the Eskimos. It's quite popular now on white-water rivers.
W: Oh, I know what a kayak is. I was just surprised that you would take a trip like that. Weren't you feared?
M: At first, I was. But after I learned some techniques for maneuvering the kayak, it wasn't so bad. We didn't start out on the river. We had three whole days of instruction in a shallow pool first. Then, when we finally got out on the fiver, I felt ready for it.
W: Did you spend the nights camping outside on the ground? That alone would make the trip unappealing to me.
M: Oh, no. The accommodations were fantastic. Each person on the trip had a private cabin, and the facilities included a hot tub, a lodge where you could have a drink and relax, and a topnotch cafeteria with great food.
W: Wow, that part of the trip does sound good to me. But I don't think I'd like the part that involves riding through rough water in a small kayak.
M: Oh, you should try it; I know you'd like it. I'm going to do it again myself, as soon as I can afford to spend the time and the money.
W: Well, better you than me.
