Podcast #5 Airport Flight Departures, Podcast #6 Grand Central Station, NYC
In conversation #5, we are faced with an uncomfortable and common airport situation these days - FLIGHT CANCELLATIONS. Do not be too surprised if your flight is canceled or delayed. Flight schedule changes are caused by bad weather, mechanical problems in the plane, loading the luggage, passengers embarking, airline computer systems crashing, delays from other incoming planes, and in older airports - inefficiency.
Last year, due a major thunder storm, hundreds of flights were canceled and I spent a long 24 hours at Chicago's O'Hare Airport. In case your plane might be canceled or delayed, bring some healthy snacks to eat, a good book, and your iPod for listening to your favorite music and, of course, for enjoying your "Traveling with English" podcasts. Then, take a few deep breathes and you'll be in good condition.
Conversation #6, takes place at Grand Central TRAIN STATION in New York City. When traveling, we must always consider how much money we should carry in our wallet. Having too much cash can be a big problem if we lose it; too little cash is a big problem if there is a wonderful gift that we might want to buy at that moment. For myself, I choose to use a bank cash card by which I can immediately withdraw cash from an ATM in any country. As all travelers know, being "on the road" requires wise financial planning.
