Hello, everybody, this is Jack from
tofluency.com along with - Kate - this is my wife, Kate
and we are being quite ambitious because we have brought our daughter along with us.
So, we are going to have a conversation in English and this is going to give you the opportunity to listen to a real
conversation both in British English and American English and baby. And baby.
You'll hear some baby noises, no doubt. And this is going to be on YouTube but we might upload it as a podcast as well,
so if you are listening to the podcast, go to tofluency.com/podcast and you'll be able to get some materials for this lesson.
Now, our hope is not to edit this video too much, we're just going to have a
conversation and we are going to talk about vacations.
Yep. And talk about traveling. Now, we actually met while I was traveling back in 2007 .
So, it's almost 10 years.
Oh my gosh. I can't believe that it's flown by, hasn't it.
It has, yeah. And, erm, we have been living in America for about six years now.
How many vacations have been up since we've been here?
Can you remember anything in particular?
That's a really good question. I think a lot of times we end up traveling for and visits to family more than we travel for pleasure or to get away from it all.
Yeah, so because we because we live in America, my parents are in Europe; my sisters in Europe; your family is elsewhere as well,
when we tend to travel we tend to go see family don't. Visit family. Yeah.
Yeah, we do. Why don't you tell everyone about our latest vacation?
Our latest vacation?
For the holidays this year, we actually went to Florida and we met up with your parents and your sister in Florida and
we had more of a beach vacation.
Yeah it was fantastic went somewhere really warm.
I've got some videos on this, you know, everyone can take a look at the videos
we made from Florida, but it was great to go somewhere different and not to go somewhere cold for Christmas. I know!
Yeah, we've never done that before and it didn't really feel like Christmas
because usually we associate it with snow and cold weather and instead we were on the beach on Christmas Eve.
Yeah, and Christmas Day. There were park rangers passing out sunglasses.
yeah giving out free sunglasses. Yeah. But it was fun because people were playing Christmas music; they were wearing santa
hats and we went to the beach on Christmas Day.
mhm. Which... it was really strange; it was really strange to be honest but very enjoyable.
Yeah it was. Yeah. And then, let's talk about an ideal vacation now.
Because we are thinking about going away this summer...
where would your ideal place be?
Where would you like to go? I don't know.
I have always wanted to travel or somewhere really kind of difference and obviously
somewhere that feels safe especially with the children where we don't have to get a lot of vaccines before we go.
That's such a good point. But I would love to visit a country with some different cultural traditions and food.
I've always wanted to go to Morocco. Morocco? Very cool!
Yeah, we we nearly went, didn't we, while w we were living in Spain.
Yeah. But we just never made it there. That was the time to go when we were, you know,
I mean, I think that once you start a family family, you realize that the time to go was any time before you had kids.
Yeah, exactly, and that's why you'll hear people say and to anyone who's just about to have kids, you know,
take advantage and this time right now but,
you know, you can do stuff with kids like make these videos and podcasts... so,
yeah... you say Morocco, anywhere else? I would love to explore Australia more
as well, and you have a cousin who actually lives in Australia.
Yeah. That would.. it would be fun to visit them and
we've been talking a lot with our son about koala bears and kangaroos and
different animals that live in Australia,
so that would be fun, yeah, and I would love to travel around
Asia as well. Yeah, I haven't really been out that way at all.l I haven't been to anywhere in Asia.
I haven't been to Australia,
I think the farthest east I've been is probably Germany.
Wow. Yeah and that's western Europe, so...
but you have been all the way down to Patagonia in South America. Yes.
So, you've just traveled in a different direction.
But i feel like I'm so glad that I have a partner who loves to travel.
Yeah. That we found each other because we can go on my adventures and we can maybe
take some trips now while Thomas is little. But I would love to take him and Emma, who's chiming in, on some
neat vacations when they get older and just travel and experience life in different parts of the world.
Yeah, it's a strange time for us because it seems like we're just dealing with,
you know, emergency situations when we travel and this year, though, when we went to Florida, Thomas was excited about it.
We could show him pictures and we could talk about it in terms of what we were going to do and he got excited about that.
Yeah. And he talks about it now. He's developing those memories and we took some great photos while we were there too.
Yeah, so, yeah. And I think, as the children get older, we're going to have great times and we can do very specific things,
and they'll get those memories - they will have those memories.
Yes. Where did you travel when you were a little? Do you have memories of traveling?
We went to France a lot and we went to Spain a lot and and well, you know, my memories when I was young - you
always make fun of me because I talk about my memories all the time.
Yeah, by the way, Jack has an incredible memory - you well kind of well.
When was your earliest memory from? how old were you?
I don't really know to be honest... no, there was that memory where I
remember being in my mom's arms when I was six months old or I had to be six
months old because they were in their old house.
I remember seeing our neighbor and my mom was talking to the neighbor.
Yeah. And I remember... I remember that little ,you know, snippet - that tiny bit of
memory but it's not that clear. I know, but six months old, that's incredible. I think
that'll mean that Emma will start to remember life, potentially, in just a couple of months because she's almost
four-months-old. Yeah, she is. Emma, are you gonna remember this? Today? She might remember this.
Or at least, she'll have the video to look back on. We always went to France; we went to Spain a
lot and when I think I was about or when, maybe younger, when we got a caravan. So. it used to take us three days
to get to the south of France and we would spend about two weeks there. We went to place called Canet Plage, which is near
Toulouse and we went there every summer for about five years, I think.
And we've met the same people, it is really cool because as a kid you want to be around other kids
and there were a bunch of a children there who we could play with. They had a great pool;
they had sports going on. The beach was really close by. My sister liked it
because she was getting to the age where she could go out and it was that kind of place but, you know, it was safe - it was great.
We really enjoyed it. How was it traveling with your family, especially
as you got to be older in such a small vehicle and sleeping in it.
I remember one trip especially when ... there was a big heat wave in France
and we we just poured water over our heads because we didn't have air conditioning
in the car - super hot and the other thing
France at that time and I don't know
if that's changed - but they didn't have proper toilets. They had like holes in the floor.
I bet that that has changed. I imagine it has.
You know, that's what I remember about it.
And then one year, we went down with another family.
And a friend - one of my sister's friends came as well and I went in the car with
the other family they had a conditioning. And it was such a big difference. Yeah,
I can imagine that's something that we take for granted, I think. Yeah, no one in the UK had air conditioning in a car
it was very very rare.
Wow. It must be... because it doesn't get that hot.
So, people don't feel like they need it.
Yeah. Okay, we're back and I just asked a question about.. what you did for vacation.
Where did you go when you were when you were a kid? When I was a kid we actually
took a family beach vacation every summer. My family and family friends would rent a house on an island called
Block Island which is an island the coast of Rhode Island and New England and we would drive and take a ferry to the
island and we just had a great time. We would go to the beach every day; we would grill seafood at night.
Yeah, it was a really special memory for me. And was not like every summer?
Yeah, it was every summer for probably five or ten years. Oh, really? Yeah, my mom actually grew up going there
when she was a kid too, so she had memories of the place and all the different areas to go and it was just a really neat... (thing to to do)
When was the first time you went abroad?
Do you remember? The first time that I went abroad, I was probably about 10 years old.
My dad decided to start working for an airline because he really wanted to show us the world
and so he was working for a British airline and he got a free ticket- all right, that's fantastic - every year
So, he took he took my sister and I both on a trip to England. Did you go to Scotland too? We did. Was that the same trip?
I think so.
Well, no. That was a different trip. That was a trip that we took all as a family together, but my father actually passed away when I was in collage,
so the fact that we had that trip together just meant so much. It was just a special special thing to have done with him. Great,
and do you remember the journey? I do. What was that... because going to the UK or anywhere in Europe
you're doing the overnight flight. from America. That is challenging. uh-huh
Do you remember that? I think, I mean, I'm sure that I was tired but I think it was just the most exciting thing that had ever
happened to me and just the novelty of everything - being able to look out an airplane window; eating pretzels - a little packet of pretzels like it was
just all magical It was so much fun. I remember the first time I came to America
because my uncle, you know my uncle used to work in America? And he got us on a flight and it was economy class
but we went to the check out and then went -they just said our last name, Askew?
Askew? We'll see what we can do because my uncle used to fly back and forth to the UK and back to America all the time,
so they - my sister didn't come on that trip - I think was . No, this is second time.
no no - sorry, I'm getting confused - we came when i was ten and and that's when - we did - we got bumped up to first class yeah - and it was just amazing.
I remember it very clearly. I think because my dad works for the airline too, we get bumped up - not all the way up to first class but to premium economy.
We were in business class and it was an experience. Yeah. Have you seen some of those recent pictures of the new like business class on these luxury
jets?
No, but.... they have like, you know. spas and showers and a circular bar - there's a lot going on with them now, obviously,
very very expensive, but and I think if you get - some people I've have seen on Facebook get on these flights or at least,
you know, getting the first preview... some YouTubers, and it just looks incredible. That sounds great.
that would make flying with my children worth it.
Yeah, no, definitely. It's hard, isn't it, with small children. Yeah - the flying - it can be you.
It can be hard - you just never know what you're gonna get, ever day is different. No, but you know,
it's good. We feel very grateful to be able to do it, you know. to go on these vacations.
So, you mentioned Morocco
before as an ideal place to go on vacation - where is your ideal..
I was gonna... tell me about it. I was thinking about this, you know, while we've been having this discussion but i think probably...
Australia. I think it would be Australia or Japan. I think somewhere in Asia maybe -the the problem is when I start to think
about these like ideal vacations then I think about the practical side of things - with children, you know, because it is completely different.
When I went travelling I was on my own I had a tiny backpack and I went away for nine months and, you know, I could go on a bus for 2 hours.
It was fine - kind of - you know, but it's something I could do, but now it's thinking about those things - forgetting about children, is it easier
to travel on your own with me? Oh, so much easier on my own.
I was worried that you were going to say that.
Explain!
Well, when you're on your own
you... you have your stuff and that's it.
If you feel tired and down, you know, or if you're like, you just don't talk to
someone, you can just do that and. If you wanna be...
if you wanna be outgoing, then you can, you know, just just meet other people and then you just make your own decisions
but, yeah, it's more fun traveling with someone. It is. That's the other thing.
'Cause you get to share your experiences and just talk to somebody about what's going on.
Yeah, definitely. Well, cool. Well, shall we wrap it up?
Yeah, let's wrap it up. Do you have a question for the audience about vacations?
Yeah, I mean - I've put you on the spot - absolutely I always have questions, you know that. Okay, so give
everyone a question that they can answer either if you're watching on YouTube leave a comment below and if you're watching or listening to the podcast
then just go to tofluency.com/ podcast and find this episode. What's your question? Now I have to pick just one question. Okay,
here's my question: if you could travel to anywhere in the world, where would it be?
And what is your number one bucket-list destination?
Yeah, you're number one place to go. And also i'll ask question too just as, you know, a
bonus one. When you go travelling do you prefer to take a lot of stuff or do you prefer to travel light?
Oh, it's a good one. Even though you wouldn't think it, I prefer to travel light?
Yeah. Like almost dangerously light.
It's so much better.
You always take clothes that you don't need - but what about you guys? Let us know. So, yeah if you have enjoyed this video
please share it with your friends, please give it a thumbs up. If you're watching on YouTube, go to the description - i'll give you some
words and phrases that we used in this lesson and subscribe if you're new. If you're listening to the podcast, toflency.com/ podcast and check out the lesson notes.
So, thank you for watching or listening, speak to you soon!
Yeah, thank you, it was great to be here and to introduce y'all to Emma who was not born yet last time that I had a conversation like this with Jack.
No, yeah, time goes quickly. Okay, bye everyone!
Bye!
