I’m good Karen. Holidays are coming. What are your plans?
Well, I guess I’ll be going to Alabama this time. Its been years since I last went there
That sounds cool. Will you be staying at a relative’s?
Yup. My grandma lives there. It’s been a long time since I saw her. I’m so excited!
Alabama is a nice place. How long do you plan to stay?
Maybe a couple of weeks.
I’m sure you’ll enjoy your vacation Karen.
Yeah, I sure hope so! Thanks!
Hey Garry. How have you been?
I’m good Karen. How was your trip to Alabama?
Oh! I don’t know where to start. It was awesome!
Alabama is such a beautiful place and I met my grandma after a very long time!
So tell me something about what you did there.
Oh sure! I visited some wine farms to see how they make wine.
I also went to some wine bottling plants. In the evening, I would go on treks. I had an amazing time!
That is so cool. Did you try some wine too?
Yes, I tasted different types but I didn’t drink too much. My folks were around
That’s really nice! I guess I should really go to Alabama someday!
Yes. You should do that Garry. You will definitely love the place.
Sure. Maybe next time you can tell me when you’re going and we’ll go together!
Good Morning Mr. Perry.
