Hi Dave!
I'm very excited about your trip. It sounds really exciting and I just see the future: you'll be so happy there. Please promise me you'll take photos to me with all the things you do. I mean take photos of your food, your family, your sunburnt face and you eating ice-cream. Haha, I'm going to have fun watching this. So, enjoy your holiday.
Actually, yes, I have been on that type of holiday. My plans on my holiday is really different. No one can say what will happen when this summer comes. Okay, first plan is me and my family will go somewhere.(в общем, тут я решаю куда вы с семьей поедите. Т.к. я живу в Латвии я выбираю Россию, ты можешь заменить на опять же, Латвию) I think it will be Russia. Because there live my relatives. All the relatives, If you know what I mean. My granny, mom's sisters and brothers, dad's mum and brother. Oh, actually I don't like that kind of the rest. But what I can do? And the second plan is that I will just sit home and sleep. And play computer games. And chatting with my friends. 
I would like to travel to India. I think it is interesting country with interesting culture.
When your holiday will finish please tell me: what do you like the most in your holiday?
It was the first time you went on packaging trip?
Where would you like to travel next summer?
Wishing the best, Bushkov.
