Vince: Hi everyone. This is Vince at head office in Vancouver. Our sales presentation is on the agenda for 4:00 pm. What time to do you think you will get here?

Sally: Well, I’m just getting ready to leave Salmon Arm now, and it’s 8:00 a.m. I’ll take the Trans-Canada Highway to Kamloops and come down the Coquihalla Highway. I should be at your office before 2:00. Let’s meet for coffee then.

Ken: Great idea. I’ll leave Kelowna about 10:00. I’ll drive the Coquihalla Connector to Merritt, and then take the Coquihalla Highway to Vancouver. This will give me a couple of hours to make some changes to my report. Being able to meet together is a good way for us to do business.

Penny: I’ll leave Penticton in an hour or so and drive the Hope-Princeton Highway to Vancouver. After coffee, let’s spend an hour going over our presentation. I really want to get this contract.

Vince: I’m glad you will all be here so soon. Being able to drive yourselves to the meeting saves a lot of hassle. And you will all able to leave Vancouver when it suits you. I know the management will love our ideas. Have a good trip.

Ken: Thanks, Vince. The Coquihalla is a smooth ride. I always enjoy highway driving.

Penny: Me, too. And the mountain scenery is spectacular. I enjoy the freedom of travelling by car because I can stop anytime I choose.

Sally: This will be my third road trip to Vancouver this spring. I’m looking forward to seeing you all later today. Bye for now.
