Beginning of a phone conversation:

Chichibio:
Pronto. (Hello on the telephone in Italian.)

Agent:
Hello, is Mr. Chichibio there please?

Chichibio:
This is Chichibio.

Agent:
Aloha, Mr. Chichibio. This is Mimi Lam from Skyline's Personal Trip Planning Agency. (Aloha means hello in the Hawaiian language.) I have been assign to work on your trip from Florence, Italy, to the Hawaiian Islans. From what I have read in your e-mail to our agency, you asked for the best we can get for you, am I accurate?

Chichibio:
Yes, the trip must be the best. The most important thing in my trip though is to have a chance to taste different types of food on the islans of Hawaii.

Agent:
Of course. I understand that you are a chef, one of the best in Florence, Italy. When you come visit Hawaii during the week of March 23rd to the first of April. Please, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Chichibio:
Of course I will correct you.

Agent:
As the e-mail said here, you are currently living in Florence, Italy, working as a cook for Mr. Currado Gianfigliazzi. From my researches on the ara, the temperature around this time of the year is about 40 degree farenhite. The nearest body of water is a lake. You grew up in Venice, which is close to the Adriatic Sea. You have never seen the ocean, am I correct?

Chichibio:
very true, the largest body of water I have seen is a sea, not an ocean.

Agent:
Then I will try to have your plans focus on seeing the wildlife in the ocean around Hawaii, and on the different types of food. the air pressure on the different heights for some people would be no trouble for you because Florence's height is about the same as here, unless you go to places like the volcanoes. Will you be paying by check or credit card?

Chichibio:
Credit card.

Agent:
Very well then, please e-mail us your credit card information as soon as possible, because all reservations will be made after we get the money from your credit card company. The total amount will be about $5,000. I will be using this e-mail you send me to create a plan for your vacation.

Chichibio:
Thank you veyr much. I will send you my credit card number and expire date tonight. I would be most happy if you could sent me a copy of my schedule during the trip and a short description on the places I will go to.

Agent:
I will sent you a copu of your schedule as so as I finish it. I hope you will have a nice day, and mahalo for choosing Skyline's Personal Trip Planning Agency. (Mahalo means thanks in Hawaiian.)
