A: So, how was your trip to Maui, Emily?

B: Oh, pretty good, mostly.

A: Mostly?

B: Yeah. it started off okay. I did all the usual things. You know. I went snorkeling right off the shore next to my hotel. The fish were beautiful!

A: I know, I love snorkeling!

B: Then I saw a hula dance—you know— traditional Hawaiian dancing.

A: Sounds great.

B: Anyway. On my second day. I decided to rent a car. I wanted to see some other sights on the island.

A: Were you on your own?

B: Uh-huh. So first I drove all the way up to the top of the volcano. I stopped to take some photos on the way. And I got some great shots of the volcano. The next day, I decided to drive all the way to Hana.

A: Hana?

B: Yeah. It's on the other side of the island. There are some spectacular waterfalls on the way. It's really beautiful. But it's a really long ride. Unfortunately, when I was about halfway there. I had a slight accident.

A: Oh, no. Were you hurt?

B: No, but it was awful. I had to leave the car and take a taxi all the way back to the hotel. It cost me an arm and a leg!

A: Oh, no. What a vacation!
