an exciting place, and we don’t mind how far we have to go. It has to be a place where we can do lots of exercises; we especially love hiking and swimming, but any kind of exercise is fine. We also need to stay in an inexpensive hotel. It would be nice if our hotel had rooms with kitchens so we could save money by cooking our own meals. The room needs to be big enough for three people.

Also, we’d like to stay at a place with a big pool or somewhere near the ocean. Could you please give me some suggestions for vacation spots? Also, please let us know if it’s best to travel by plane, train or bus. We’d like to be away for about three weeks. Thank you very much. S.T. Zhang
