we My friend Julie and I we are planning our holiday. We haven't been on

holiday together before. I would like to go to the seaside, but she prefers
mountains. She wants an active holiday, but I think so a relaxing time on the
beach would be being much better. Julie has been collecting information
about walking holidays in Scotland and I have been finding out about cheap
flights to Spain! I have been bought new swimming things and a sunhat,
and Julie has bought strong boots and a rain hat! Perhaps we will to
have t w o holidays this year! What do you think?
