Tessy: Good morning Harry! Just thought I'd drop you a line before disappearing to the other side of the world. At the moment I'm on the train to Frankfurt airport, then off to Cuba for 5 weeks. Can't wait to be there!
Harry: A very good morning to you dear Tessy! How nice you are in touch. So travelling again? Gosh, you've got stamina!
Tessy: I wonder myself. Truth to tell I'm slightly apprehensive. Never been to Cuba. Have you?
Harry: No, I'm not that adventurous but Maya was. Last summer with her boys. And I think she was very enthusiastic.But I remember no details. Why don't you ask her? She may have a tip or two.
Tessy: A bit too late now :)) but I will definitely contact her. Still she can give me a few good tips. Do you remember if internet is really such a disaster there?
Harry: Oh yes, it is. She was gone for 2 weeks and I heard from her twice: from the Havana airport when she arrived and on leaving.
Tessy: I see! My Super Mario boss is expecting me to be online all the time - just in case. LOL
Harry: What a charming person. Have you told him to fuck off?
Tessy: More or less. And hey how are you? Tied down to the ground?
Harry: I hate winter for that reason. But still had a fantastic flying season this year. Can't complain really. We've been thinking about a skiing holiday though at Xmas.
Tessy: Smashing! Where to?
Harry: Actually that's an adventurous part - to Israel. They seem to have some incredible slopes with topnotch infrastructure. A bloke from Notts Club was there last year and couldn't praise it too much.
Tessy: Funny enough I remember seeing their skiing brochures when we were there back in 2000. Sooo long time ago. By now it can be only better. Wouldn't it bit more on a pricey side?
Harry: We'll manage 2 weeks. And it can't be more expensive that Austria.Not to mention Switzerland. They're gone mad there, with all those Chinks and Russkis. Nobody else can afford it any more.
Tessy: Apart from royals in Kitzbühel :)) 
Harry: Molly has found out about a package, with the flight, full board, accommodation. You only have to pay your ski passes.
Tessy: And that's where they are making their money! And on apres-skis!
Harry: I can easily give a miss to a fancy apres-ski! Have you had any bookings? They surely have nice all-inclusive places in Cuba.
Tessy: Not at all! Otherwise prices are exorbitant. But those affordable ones always have horrible write-ups. Yes, I've booked all my accommodation. Airbnb, I like to support the locals :)
Harry: Very noble of you. But it's a bit of a tossup: you can get a superb flat or land in a rubbish hip. I definitely prefer hotels.
Tessy: I AM more adventurous. Anyway it is safe, Cuba is said to be very safe even for woman travelling alone.
Harry: And ravishing blonde on top of it! But be careful.
Tessy: STB you are.
Harry: What the hell is STB?
Tessy: Swet Talking Bastard. Anyway it was great to chat with you. I think we're approaching Frankfurt. So see you in January!
Tessy: And have a fantastic skiing Xmas!
Harry: Happy and safe trails Tessy!
Tessy is going to Cuba for 5 weeks. She's staying in airbnb. Tessy is worried about the Internet connection, because her boss might contact her anytime. Harry wants to go to Israel for skiing holiday during Christmas. Tessy and Harry are going to meet in January.
