Immediately after hanging up the phone with her aunt, Melissa begins planning a trip to Seattle with her mother. The following weekend, Melissa and her mother leave for a short visit to the place known as the “Emerald City.”

Melissa: Are you almost ready to go, mom? I’ll go and pull the car out of the garage.

Mrs. Jones: OK—just a minute. Could you see if there’s a map of Seattle in the glove box ?

Melissa (shouting from the garage): I don’t see one. Wait! I found it! It’s in the compartment in the driver’s door.

Mrs. Jones: Great! We’ll probably need it to find your aunt and uncle’s place. It’s a bit tricky finding their place—especially at night.

Melissa: Why don’t we just go online to get the driving directions to their place? The Internet is pretty handy, you know!

Mrs. Jones: So I’ve heard. In this situation, the Internet probably won’t be able to help us as we don’t know which direction we’ll be coming from.

Melissa: OK! I am pretty good at reading maps. We probably won’t get lost!

Mrs. Jones: Great! Let’s go, Missy! Let’s leave a note for your father reminding him to take out the dog when he gets home.

Melissa: Bye, Judd. Be a good boy!

Melissa and Mrs. Jones get into the car and begin their trip. Their first stop is the gas station.

Melissa: Just a second and I’ll fill the car up with gas. Do you want me to pay for it with cash or use the credit card?
