warm . ____________________ , there was no snow . Well , there were a few centimeters of snow very high up on the black runs , but we ____________________ ? t ____________________ to go there , because it was too high and too dangerous .
So we had to ? nd other ways to ____________________ ourselves , and in the end , this was really good because we were forced to relax .
We ____________________ ? t ____________________ to get up early to go skiing , so we could go out until late at night and sleep in the morning . We read books , had long lunches , went for walks , and drank lots of hot chocolate .

When I was 18 , I was ____________________ to go to Guatemala to see the volcanoes , but I ____________________ ? t ____________________ to go there alone ? my parents ____________________ I was too young .
So my brother ____________________ to come with me , and we carefully ____________________ a three - week tour . We set off from Chicago , and our destination was the Guatemalan city of Antigua , but we had a ____________________ in Miami for a few hours .
Anyway , we ? nally took off from Miami , and , during the ? ight , my brother ____________________ a fellow passenger if he ? d been to Antigua before . He ____________________ that he had , and it was one of the most beautiful ____________________ he ? d ever come across .

At that point , we ____________________ we were on the wrong plane , going to the wrong place .

Obviously we ____________________ ? t get off the plane there and then , so we had to go on and then ? gure it all out when we landed .
There were no direct ? ights from the Caribbean island of Antigua to the Guatemalan city of Antigua , so we had to go back to Miami and start again .

Our Spanish tour leader ____________________ as if she was about to set off on the Tour de France . I made a big effort to ____________________ upon the ? rst day , but by the evening my rear end was in ____________________ , and I ____________________ ? t sit down .

Fortunately we didn ? t have to carry anything ? there was a car that took all our ____________________ from one place to the next . But I have to admit that I got a ride in the baggage car a couple of times . I never ____________________ that that part of Spain was so ____________________ .
