Oh I see, so you like to bake. My favorite hobby is to go scuba diving.

I do not have hobby. But I'm only child. Do you have brothers and sisters.

Speaker 1
I decided to book another trip to Hawaii so I can go scuba diving there again.
Speaker 2
That's great! When are you going?
Speaker 1
I'm going next weekend and staying for around eight days. Have you ever been to Hawaii yourself?
Speaker 2
No, I haven't traveled anywhere else since studying baking in Europe. Would love to go though. What else will you do in Hawaii?
Speaker 1
I am going to go to a few of the different islands, see different volcanoes, and my fiance and I have discussed renting a kayak for a day. Otherwise, we plan to relax! What do you like to do on vacation?
Speaker 2
I love to eat, since I'm in the kitchen so much. I've been working on a new recipe.
Speaker 1
That's exciting. I need to learn more about baking. I'm sure you've learned all about it through your studies. What type of recipe are you working on?
Speaker 2
I'm working on some gluten free varieties. My boyfriend doesn't eat gluten, so I need to make these for him. Do you have dietary restrictions?
Speaker 1
I'm a pescatarian, so the only meat I eat comes from fish. Also, I try to avoid gluten for the most part, but I eat it sometimes. Do you have any restrictions yourself?
Speaker 2
No, I can't! I love all different cuisines so it would be so limiting for me. I can't handle very spicy food though. What about your fiance?
Speaker 1
My fiance doesn't follow any restrictions either, but I cook a lot of food for him so he ends up not eating much meat. What country has the best burgers you've had?
Speaker 2
Hm, California has some very good veggie burgers that you can't find in Europe. The French love their meats.

Speaker 1
I have been working hard on planning my Hawaii trip for next weekend.  I think I want to start packing slowly so I don't forget anything
Speaker 2
Ah, sounds like you have a busy itinerary! Will you need to take a lot of equipment with you?
Speaker 1
I don't think so! it's easier to rent things there because of the cost of trying to fly with too much stuff.
Speaker 2
That's true. Have you been kayaking before?
Speaker 1
I have been! I love it. it's so relaxing. do you like to kayak?
Speaker 2
I've never tried it, but I'd love to one day! Is it difficult to do?
Speaker 1
nope! it's honestly more about confidence than anything. it's NOT very likely you'll tip over, so if you just climb in and learn how to row, you should be good to go. I think it's much easier than most folks suppose it will be! it's nice if you like to nature-watch; you can just go along the shore and look at the life you see as you go
Speaker 2
Ah really! I love the idea of floating peacefully along the shore, looking at the wildlife. I wasn't sure if I had the upper arm strength to go very far
Speaker 1
you'd be surprised how easy the rowing is! it's like biking, where one good push will send you sailing for quite a ways. and if you're on still water, you can always just rest and sit still too. it's easier than you'd think. :-) are you a fan of being out on the water?
Speaker 2
Oh wow, that puts my mind at ease, thank you! I am, yes - it's always so impressive and peaceful out on the water. I've not been scuba diving before though - how long have you been scuba diving for?
Speaker 1
several years, now -- I was SO SCARED at first! but once you learn to trust the equipment, as long as you're not reckless, it is no less or more scary than an airplane. it was an expensive hobby to learn but there's nothing like it once you get hooked lol
Speaker 2
Oh I bet! What's the most exciting thing you've seen underwater?

Speaker 1
I'm so excited about my Hawaii trip -- it's almost here!
Speaker 2
I know, I'm so excited for you! Are you planning to go scuba diving while you're there?
Speaker 1
Yes, I will definitely go at least once. Hawaii is a great place to view fish in their natural habitat. I have saved enough money for some time under the water.
Speaker 2
I figured that you did. As you know, I'd love to go scuba diving some day, but I have to admit, seeing fish and other possibly scary things up close like that kind of freaks me out a little. lol!
Speaker 1
First time I went, I freaked a bit. Wild animals everywhere! They might get curious but they are not keen on confronting you. Humans are weird and strange and not appetizing. Don't worry! Tourists are not on their menu.
Speaker 2
With my luck, I'd meet a shark who was the outlier. lol! So are you staying at any of the same places that you did the last time you went to Hawaii?
Speaker 1
I liked the place I stayed at last time, but I want to see some new things as well. Summer time is not as popular for tourists, who usually come when the weather is cold elsewhere. I got a pretty good deal on a hotel.
Speaker 2
I've heard it's pretty expensive, so that's good. I would hope that you'd get some kind of military discount. I know my dad used to get that whenever we'd travel. 
Speaker 1
There are a lot of jarheads and other military types there. I get along with most of them. Some bars are run for military. 
Speaker 2
I'm sure. My dad used to sneak me into the local American Legion bar sometimes when I was a kid! lol!
Speaker 1
That's a good dad! A kid is never too young to start down the road to perdition. LOL
Speaker 2
Well, as an only-child I got spoiled a bit. lol!

I like being around wild animals. I don't think wild animals are dangerous while scuba diving. I liked the last place I stayed in Hawaii. I want to stay in a new place next time. I like to get deals. I like to stay in hotels. I appreciate family time with fathers and kids.

I am a little scared by the idea of being up close with fish. My dad is a veteran. My family traveled when I was a kid. I used to spend time with my dad.
Speaker 1
I've worked on my itinerary for my trip and there's a cool military bar I want to go to.
Speaker 2
Ooh nice, how'd you find out about it? What other things are on your itinerary? I'm so jealous haha
Speaker 1
Well, I will be going scuba diving there of course. You know I would never miss the opportunity to scuba dive in such a beautiful place.
Speaker 2
Yeah I can't even imagine. Is the water really clear there? I know you aren't scared of the animals but I'd be so paranoid about jellyfish stinging me
Speaker 1
The waters there are some of the clearest in the world and the coral formations are amazing! Listen, I think you should join me on this trip, I could show you around. 
Speaker 2
Woah that would be so amazing. Hawaii is my dream and since you've been there you could show me stuff that's good! Wouldn't I need a license to go scuba diving though? Maybe I could just snorkle above you
Speaker 1
I can lead you through the process needed to go on your first dive, and going with an experienced friend for your first time would be nice.
Speaker 2
Yeah that makes sense. When are you leaving? It's been so long since I've travelled, I have to figure out plans and stuff. I'll need to find a good dogsitter
Speaker 1
I was planning on leaving next week, but I could postpone a bit to let you prepare. 
Speaker 2
Oh wow that's super soon. Yeah I think I'll need a little more time. Is there space in your hotel room or should I book my own?
Speaker 1
Sure, there's plenty of space in my room. Your boyfriend isn't coming too, is he?
Speaker 2
Oh I could ask him, I think it might be tough for him to get off work though. I can probably have him watch my dogs actually so long as his schedule won't be too crazy that week
