To: Ben Reed
Subject: Greetingsfrom Puerto Vallarta

Hi Ben,
Greetings from Puerto Vallarta, one of the friendliest and most charming beach
destinationsin the world! I'm having a wonderful time here. In fact, it's the best holiday I've
ever had.
I'm stayingin one of the most luxurious hotels on the coast and I'm spendingmost of my
time swimming and sunbathing on the beachl Puerto Vallarta has a tropical climate, with over
300 sunnydaysa year, so it is much warmer than back home. In many areasof Puerto Vallarta
you feel like you are taking a step back in time. The city has all the modern facilities a visitor
could ask for, but still keepsits unique Old Mexico charm.
The most exciting day I've had so far was when I went horse riding in the jungle. The trip
was more thrilling than I had imaginedand I endedup taking hundredsof pictures!
Well, that's all from me! Have to go now. Seeyou in a week.
Love,
Sarah

@ If you are theperson that evetyoneturns to when they neeclgi{t-giving advice, then don't reacl
any further. Unfortunately, for most of us, choosing the right gift for a loved one can often be a
fiustrating experience.Here are some tips that should make gift shopping a lot lessconfusing.
@ Choosing a gtft for someone you spend a lot of time with is relatively easy. Simply pay
attention to what they look at whenyou go shopping together.
(9 ,qna whst about thoseyou don't seevery often? Simply ask their
friends or family for advice.
They are the ones who know best what tke person is interested in as well as what they want or
need.
@ Sometimes, it's much easier to just ask people what they want. Children will be
hoppy to tell you but adults tend to be a little lessdirect. In that case, try to
find out what other people give them and get them something related to their
hobbies or interests.
@ ,lt*oyt make sure that the presentsyou buy can be retumed. Never buy
gifts from a shop that has no refund or exchangepolicy. If you are buying
through the Intemet, find out what options you have if the product is not
satisfactory.
@ Personally,wheneverI don't know what to get someone,I buy them a gift
voucher. This way, the person in question can choose their own gift and you will'
have gained the reputation of being thepe(ect gift giver.
