Eavesdropping

Today in the 210 bus to North Vancouver, a +/- 19 years old girl was on the phone. She explained to somebody of her family (I think it was her dad) that she wanted to book a flight to go to LA to see her best friend. She added that she had looked on the Internet to find the cheapest way to go there.She had noticed that taking one direct flight from Vancouver to LA is much more expensive than first taking a bus to Seattle and then taking a plane. She also mentioned that the price of the flight from Seattle to LA was only 80 American dollars for one way. She queried the person on the phone if he or she could help her to book the flight because she had never done it before. Finally, she confessed that she was really excited about the idea to go to LA for Christmas because she hadn’t seen her best friend for one year.
