Two summers ago we ......... on a trip to New York. We ............ from Manchester to John F. Kennedy International Airport.

The journey was long but we were very excited; we are from a little village and we really ............. to visit a megacity like New York. When we ....................... at our destination,

we ............. a taxi to our hotel in Manhattan. The taxi driver was very nice and ...................... us lots of things about New York and Manhattan.

"How much is it?" I asked the taxi driver when he ............... his car in front of the hotel. When he ................... that it was 52 dollars,

I ................... that it wasn't possible, but it was! For the first and I hope the last time in my life, I ................. 52 dollars for a taxi. I guess that's one of the problems of big cities, they are really expensive.
