Arrivals And Departures

by Mariana Petrichenko

Emma is keen on travelling, that is why she never misses a chance to open up new horizons. No matter where she may travel, either abroad or around native corners, she plans thoroughly her future trip. Being a well experienced traveler Emma is always organized while preparing for any arrivals and departures.

Before travelling she always finds out basic information about the country she travels to in order to avoid awkward situations. As Emma masters some foreign languages, it's next to impossible to have any language problems. It is much more convenient to book a hotel and tickets via the Net, so Emma never asks travel agencies for help. Moreover, she thinks over the best way to get to her future location. Having booked a hotel she goes to the market to buy all necessary items.. Emma's valise is always light because she hates carrying heavy luggage. However it takes her the whole day to get it packed. Emma always takes some light meal before the flight. If she has greasy food, she might suffer from nausea. Finally, when everything is arranged, Emma checks her tickets, a passport, money, a credit card and she calls a taxi service. Emma takes a car in advance so as to avoid traffic jams. At the airport she passes check-in, passport control, customs, and exhausted but happy she finds herself on the board of the plane.

Having arrived Emma hurries to leave an airport. She takes the most comfortable means of transport, usually a taxi, tells the driver her destination and enjoys new foreign scenery from the taxi. At the hotel she checks in and chooses a room. At the end Emma unpacks her valise, takes a nap and starts exploring new places.
