[variety] "Vacation in Wales" (Shin FUJITA)

This week's theme is "planning the vacation abroad".
I believe many of you, the ESS members, are very good at it.
I, myself, spent my vacation of this Golden-Week in Paris. Planning the travel itinerary was as exciting a time as the actual trip itself.

You are going to help Bob, an American tourist, make a perfect plan for his vacation in Wales, UK, with his girlfriend Jane.

Bob has already come to London to spend his vacation and is now waiting for his girlfriend, Jane, to join him. Jane seems to have something in her mind she wants to do in UK. Yes, she is one of those travel-loving-girls who doesn't want to compromise when it comes to making a vaction trip, especially if it is a rare occasion to visit Wales.

Here is a fax Bob received from Jane in Chicago .


I'm coming to Britain to join you on your vacation. I'm dying to go to Wales. Unfortunately, I don't have much time, so we'll have to plan the trip very carefully. My flight leaves O'Hare on the 17th at 17:35, and arrives at Heathrow the next day at 7:20 a.m. The flight number is British Airways 298. My return flight, British Airways 296, leaves Heathrow on the 22nd at 20:10, and arrives at O'Hare the next day at 10:10 a.m.

I saw a TV program on famous Wales castles, and they looked really wonderful, so I want to spend two nights in Wales. Apparently, you can stay at a castle hotel and attend a medieval-style banquet. I'd love to stay there for one night. We could spend the other night at a bed-and-breakfast. I plan to stay in London the night I arrive and the night before I leave, preferably at the hotel you're staying. Would you mind arranging the schedule for our trip ? And could you also tell me how much it'll cost to stay at the castle hotel ?
See you soon.
Love,
Jane
