Things to do before we go Example Collect the currency. Cancel appointment with the【L1】________(Monday) Begin taking the

W: Our plane tickets arrived this morning... it reminded me how much there is to do before we go.
M:  Let’s write everything down shall we, so we don’t forget anything.
W:  Yes. Last time we went away we almost forgot to collect our currency from the bank.   So let’s start with that.
M: Good thinking. And wasn’t there an appointment you said you’d got to cancel?
W: Yes, the hairdresser...Thanks for reminding me. Can you write that down too?  The shop will be closed now, but I’ll do it first on Monday.
M: OK... Then, starting on Tuesday we’ve got to take the tablets we got from the pharmacy. We really mustn’t forget to do that. We’re not protected against malaria till we’ve been taking them for at least seven days, so that’s really important.
W: And what about shopping? There’re still a few things we’ve got to buy the next time we’re in town.We need some more sunblock, don’t we? We’ve only got that factor ten stuff — it won’t be strong enough.
M: I’ve already bought that.  But what we do still need to get is sunglasses.  The ones I’ve got aren’t good enough, and I don’t think yours are either.
W: OK... I’ve noted that down. And I think I’m going to get another bag too. Just a small one. We always seem to come back with more things than we take!
M: Shall we get an extra lock for our suitcase as well?
W: Just in case the one we’ve got breaks. They don’t seem to last long.
M: Yes, they are a bit flimsy. OK... Right... Oh yes, and we need an adaptor for our electrical things. Your hairdryer and my shaver... The plugs on them are bound to be the wrong type.
W: We could get one at the airport. They always have them there.
M: Well I’d rather get it beforehand, so I’m writing it down. And then I think that’s it, isn’t it?
W: I think so. As far as shopping’s concerned. But we also need to order a taxi to take us to the airport. We should do that well in advance. My sister left it too late and she had to take the train — with that huge suitcase of hers!
M: I know, she really struggled with this...
