How would you like to come to New York with me over the spring break, Julia?
I'd love to, John, but where would we stay?
At a friend's house. I always stay with him and there's room for you too.
OK. He won't mind?
Of course not. He's looking forward to meeting you.
Will we drive to New York?
Yes, it takes about six hours. We can leave about noon and get there by suppertime.
What's the climate like?
It may be cold and rainy. Better bring a jacket and good walking shoes.
Well, when do we leave?
How about Thursday? Can you be ready by noon?
No problem.
