Ana and Alejandro Martinez walk off the plane and into the airport. Both are tired from the flight, but also excited to be in a new country. They follow the crowd of people until they reach the lineup for customs. After about ten minutes, it is their turn to talk with the customs agent.
"Hello," Ana says as she gives the customs officer her passport.
"What is the purpose of your visit?" asks the customs officer.
"We are taking a course to help us improve our English."
"How long will you be staying in Vancouver?"
"We plan to stay until September fifth."
"Where are you staying?"
"We have friends who live here," Alejandro answered. "We met them when they visited our country. They invited us to stay with them for the summer, and recommended a course for us to take."
"What is your relationship?"
"Ana is my sister," Alejandro replied.
The customs officer gives them back their passports and says, "Enjoy your stay."
"Thank you," Ana and Alejandro say at the same time, then go to find their luggage.
They stand by the luggage carousel and wait for their luggage. "Is that your suitcase?" Ana says pointing at a black suitcase.
Alejandro looks at it. "I don't think so, but here is yours."
Ana grabs her suitcase as it comes by. A couple of minutes later, Alejandro gets his suitcase as well.
"Now where do we go?" Ana asks.
"I think we need to go this way," Alejandro replies, pointing to the left.
They walk through a small passage and into a large waiting area.
"Alejandro! Ana!" they hear someone call.
Ana and Alejandro look and see their friends Sarah and Eric. They wave and walk over to them.
"Hi!" Sarah says. "How was the flight?"
"Long," says Alejandro. "But there were no problems."
"Let's go," Eric says, "We'll take you back to our house, and make dinner while you get settled in."
The four of them walk out of the airport, and into the sunny evening.
