In August of last year, the Smith family took an exciting vacation to Egypt to see the pyramids. They spent an incredible two weeks there. One of the high points of their vacation was a visit to the Sphinx. Their tour guide was especially helpful. He told them a lot of interesting stories. They stayed in a wonderful, four-star hotel in Cairo. The hotel had a great restaurant, and the waiters were all very friendly. It was the perfect vacation.

Two months ago, Brian Winters traveled to Cairo, Egypt on a short business trip. He stayed at a wonderful hotel—one with a great manager and friendly staff. One day, he had a little extra time, so he took a taxi to the pyramids. The taxi driver was kind of unfriendly, but the visit to the pyramids was amazing.
