The best and the worst trip

Anna: Hey Mark, I’ve been thinking about our upcoming trip to Italy, and I was wondering, what was the worst trip you’ve ever had?

Mark: Oh, that’s easy. It was when I went to the Philippines a couple of years ago. We were supposed to be staying in a beautiful beach resort, but as soon as we got there, a typhoon hit. It was so bad, the entire island was flooded. I spent most of the time stuck inside, staring at the rain. The worst part? My luggage got drenched, and I couldn’t find any dry clothes. Imagine walking around in soggy shoes all day. I felt like I was wearing a wet sock all the time.

Anna: Ugh, that sounds horrible. A wet sock experience for sure! For me, I think the worst was when I went backpacking through Europe last summer. I planned everything down to the last detail, but I completely underestimated how bad the weather would be. It rained non-stop for almost two weeks. I was miserable. And to make it worse, I lost my passport in Prague. I had to go through all this hassle to get a new one, and my trip turned into a logistical nightmare.

Mark: Oh no! That sounds like a disaster. Losing your passport while traveling is one of the worst things that could happen. But it’s interesting how we’re both talking about bad trips with terrible weather. You’d think travel would be all sunshine and beaches, right?

Anna: Exactly! But hey, it’s not all bad. Speaking of the best trips, what was the best vacation you’ve ever had?

Mark: Hands down, my trip to New Zealand. It was like paradise on Earth. I went on a hiking trip to the Southern Alps, and the views were just breathtaking. The air was so fresh, the water crystal clear, and the people were amazing. It felt like I had stepped into a whole new world. There were no wet socks, just dry boots and sunny skies every day. What about you?

Anna: Oh, New Zealand sounds incredible! For me, it was when I went to Japan last year. I spent a few weeks exploring Tokyo, Kyoto, and the countryside. It was like stepping into a different time. I had the best sushi of my life, visited ancient temples, and even stayed in a traditional ryokan. It was peaceful and beautiful. Every day felt like an adventure, and there was nothing that could ruin the experience. No soggy socks on that trip!

Mark: Sounds like a dream! I guess, after all the mishaps, it’s the amazing trips that make the bad ones seem worth it, right?

Anna: Absolutely! You can’t have the good without the bad. But I think I’ll be double-checking the weather forecast next time before I book anything!

Mark: Same here. No more wet socks for me!
