问题 Victoria has eventually decided to go on a______ [br]  
Jenny: I’m longing to hear about this tour, Victoria. You must be terribly excited.
Victoria: Oh, I am. I...I’ve never been to America before, so I’m really looking forward to it. I thought of going fly-drive.
Jenny: Fly-drive?
Victoria: Yes. You know, you...you can arrange for a car to be waiting for you at the airport when you arrive. You book everything this end including the plane tickets.
Jenny: Sounds simple enough. Are you going to, then?
Victoria: Well, I’m a bit worried about driving on the other side of the road and having to, so I decided it would be better to go on a more organized holiday.
Jenny: What do you mean by "organized"?
Victoria: Well, everything is arranged by a tour operator, a more organized trip. You know, you are taken around and shown where to go and what to do. I would probably miss half of the sight otherwise.
Jenny: Mm, where are you going anyway?
Victoria: Orlando. It’s in central Florida.
Jenny: Sounds OK. Are you going on your own?
Victoria: Yes, I don’t mind that. There will be other people on the tour. I’m sure to make friends. You know, I like meeting new people. Here, let me show you the brochure.
Jenny: It looks pretty packed. Do you really have time to do all these things?
Victoria: Oh, yes. It’s all planned. Let’s see. Day one, we arrive in Orlando. And after we’ve settled in our hotel, we have the afternoon free. I guess we could have a look around and do what we like.
Then, day two, we go to Disney World.
Jenny: You mean Mickey Mouse and all that?
Victoria: Yes, it’s a kind of gigantic funfair with all the Disney characters and there is also the Epcot Centre, uh, a sort of city of the future with all the latest developments. I’ve always wanted to go there, anything I saw on television. And then, day three, we go to sea world.
Jenny: Whatever is that?
Victoria: Well, there have aquatic displays and performing dolphins and even a whale.
Jenny: Oh, that’s quite unusual. Let’s see what you do on day four. Oh, it seems to be free.
Victoria: Yes, that’s right. And then on the next day we go to the Kennedy Space Centre. That should be interesting.
Jenny: I wonder how much they let you see. That’s where NASA is, isn’t it?
Victoria: Well, you shouldn’t think you’d be able to see the latest spacecraft, but you might be allowed to glimpse some Mission Control, and perhaps how they receive message from satellite. Anyway, I bet you’ll know a lot more about the space than you ever knew before.
Jenny: Mm, I quite envy you going there. Somehow, I find it quite hard to believe that people will one day live out in the space.
Victoria: Oh, I don’t. I’ll give it a try if I have the chance. Now, what’s next? Oh, yes, day six. Circus world.
Jenny: Circus world. That sounds fun. I love going to the circus.
Victoria: So do I. It states here, circus world, see, take parts, enjoy. I wonder what "take parts" involves.
Jenny: You’ll soon find out.
Victoria: And day seven, we come home. Just as well, I’ll be broke by then.
Jenny: I suppose you’ve been saving up for ages for this holiday.
Victoria: Well, I did think of putting in some extra hours at work, but the money wasn’t really worth it after tax, and it would have meant I didn’t get home until late. Dad offered to lend me some money but I know he really needs it himself. In the end, I went to see my bank manager. He was terribly nice, so here I am, all booked up and ready to go.
