[Several days after getting their passports, the family continues to prepare for the family trip.
パスポートをとりに行ってから数日後、家族旅行のために未だ用意しています。
Continues from here. ここからの続きです。
See here for vocabulary. 単語についてはここを参照。]
Anne: Kids! It's time to pack up!
Amy: Mom, you've been saying that every morning this whole past week.
Alex: With all this packing and re-packing, we're going to wear out the luggage before we even get on the plane.
Anne: We have to get ready for the trip.
Alex: No offense, Mom, but I think we are ready, already.
Anne: But are you sure you have everything?
Amy: If I don't have it now, I don't care!
Anne: Do you have your swimming suits and towels?
Alex: Yes.
Anne: Toothbrush, soap, comb, brush?
Amy: Yes.
Anne: Three changes of clothes?
Alex: Yes.
Anne: Underwear, too?
Amy: Mom! We went through this list yesterday and the day before and ...
Anne: We want to be sure we don't forget anything.
If you actually opened your suitcases and looked, you might decide you wanted a different shirt or skirt or something.
Alex: I think I'll risk it.
Amy: Me, too.
Anne: Open those suitcases or else!
Amy: Mooooom!
Alex: Okay, okay.
My suitcase is open.
Everything is there.
See, the checklist is even there.
Anne: Look at these shorts.
Do they go well with that shirt?
And those socks?
Alex: I don't care.
Anne: What if you meet a good looking girl?
Alex: And you are the one who tells me that if a girl doesn't like me for who I am, she doesn't matter.
Anne: And look at your skirts and blouses, Amy.
That's three nice sets, but can you mix and match them?
Amy: Mom, we looked at the combinations yesterday and decided each one goes well enough with the others.
Anne: These socks do not go together well with those socks.
Amy: I'm not planning on wearing two pair of socks at any point on this trip.
Anne: Well, okay.
How are your summer studies coming?
Amy: I'm finished with everything but the report on the summer vacation.
Anne: Really?
Amy: Okay, I have a little bit of math and Japanese review left.
Anne: Is that all?
Amy: Well, maybe there's the science experiment, but I don't have time for that before the trip.
Anne: Is everything ready so you can do it when we get home?
Amy: Well, ....
Anne: Then maybe you should prepare for the trip by getting ready for the experiment.
How about you, Alex?
Alex: See, I have room in my carry-on bags for my science and Japanese homework.
And I have a notebook for my summer vacation report, too.
I'll finish the math today.
Anne: Can you help Amy get ready for her experiment?
Alex: That's the other thing I was planning to do today.
Anne: Okay, well, let's get ready by, uhm, getting ready!

Anne: Oh, good.
I do want to get my hair done
before we go get the passport pictures taken.
Did you take the appointment?
Andy: Yeah, but I like you just the way you are.
Anne: This isn't for you. It's for me.
What time?
Andy: Ten thirty.
Anne: Thanks.
Andy: I know it's for you, Babe.
I'm just reminding you that I like you just the way you are.
Anne: I know you.
You're just trying to save the beautician's fees.
Gotta keep them out of the welfare line, you know.
Andy: Hey, that's my line!
But it's a good thing we thought to check the passports.
Anne: I'm the one who thought to check them.
Andy: Well, I knew ours were expired.
Anne: But you had forgotten the children's, hadn't you.
Andy: (Sighing.) It's always my fault.
Anne: Now, Sweetie, I'm not blaming you, just saying.
Andy: Yeah, yeah.
Anyway, what else do we need to do to get ready for this trip?
Anne: Mary said she'd take the turtle while we're gone.
Andy: She has so many pets.
Shouldn't we ask somebody else?
Anne: She already has turtle food and a pond for her turtles.
And she feeds them every morning, so it won't be a change to her schedule.
And Max will enjoy having some friends around for a change.
Andy: Hmm. He might get lonely when he comes back.
Okay, so we'll need to take Max over to Mary's place the day before we leave.
Anne: I told her I'd take Max over on the 27th.
She said that would be fine.
Andy: Two days early?
Anne: She'll be off work that day.
Andy: That's sure nice of her.
What do the kids think of the itinerary?
Anne: Amy said, "Too much culture!"
Andy: Oh?
Anne: And Alex said, "Too busy! Can't we just do the culture stuff on the 'net?"
Andy: Oh, dear. What do you think?
Anne: I think we should ask the kids where they want to go.
Andy: But they'll just want to play and eat.
Anne: And shop?
Andy: Not Alex.
Anne: Well, let's discuss it with them, and let them choose some of the destinations.
Andy: I guess that sounds like a good idea.
