Making Accommodations
Assistant: Good Morning, sir. How are you doing today?
Mr. Jacobs: Just fine, thanks. How about you?
Assistant: I'm doing great, thanks. I just wanted to let you know that I set up all of your travel arrangements for the upcoming conference in
Orlando.
Mr. Jacobs: Oh that's wonderful, thank you. What time does my flight get in on Tuesday?
Assistant: Your flight arrives at 5pm, so you should have plenty of time to check into your hotel, eat dinner, and get a good night's sleep, before you
have to get up early on Wednesday for the start of the conference.
Mr. Jacobs: That's good. And you were able to get a room at the Luxury Inn?
Assistant: Actually sir, I'm afraid that the Luxury Inn was completely booked, so I arranged for a hotel a bit further away from the convention center.
Mr. Jacobs: That's pretty disappointing.
Assistant: I know. I'm sorry, sir. Unfortunately, there was just no space. Even the hotel told me that they filled up much faster than they had been
expecting. But, I've scheduled a car service to pick you up at the airport and take you to your hotel, so you won't have to bother with a taxi.
Mr. Jacobs: Great, thanks. And when do I get back?
Assistant: I was able to book a direct return flight that arrives Saturday evening at around 6pm.
Mr. Jacobs: Very well. Thanks for taking care of that for me.
Assistant: My pleasure.
