OK, I’ll get the brochures in the post to you but can I give you some information over the phone. What kinds of things do you want to do on your holiday?

Good. Then you drive to San Francisco. From San Francisco you can drive to Yosemite Park where you spend a couple of nights. You can choose to stay in a lodge or on the campsite.
I don’t like the idea of staying in a tent. It’d be too hot.
Right. And the tour ends in Las Vegas.
OK.
The other trip we can arrange is slightly different. It starts in San Francisco. Then you drive south to Cambria.
Someone told me there’s a really nice castle near Cambria. Will we go near that?
Hearst Castle is on that road so you could stop there.
Good. I’d like to do that. Does this trip also go into the desert?
