Getting ready for a trip

The company arranged a trip to its Washington branch for me.

I wanted to go there by train. I wondered if American railroads were much different from ours. I also wanted to see more of America. You don't see much from a plane, do you? Richard went along with me. Or maybe I went along with him.

Richard had wanted to book tickets and make reservations, but I insisted on making all the necessary arrangements myself. After a month in America I wanted to see if I could manage it. There was no problem with train tickets. They could be bought on the day of the trip. I made our hotel reservation from New York by calling an 800 number. Though it was a long distance call it was free. All toll free numbers begin with 1—800. Some companies want to attract more customers that way, so they pay the telephone company for these calls.
