Hi there Tom,

Sorry that I haven't been in for a while, but we have been really busy. As you probably , we are moving into the new apartment, and we have been packing everything up. In a week or so, we'll probably be living in our new place. We're so excited! I hope you can visit next year.

How's life you? Hope you and Sarah are well. I was really glad that David could get into Oxford. He's always been such a brilliant student. You must be a very proud dad right now!

Anyway, the I'm writing is because I want to take Susan on a trip to the north of Spain next month and, as I know you and Sarah went to Cantabria last summer, I was you could give me some advice. Can you tell me about a nice place to stay? Do you think I rent an apartment or book a room in a hotel? Also, I'd appreciate your advice about restaurants and places to visit.

Well, that's all for now. I hope you can visit us soon. We want to show you our new home. Give to Sarah and David.

Best,

Tony.

PS Susan doesn't know anything about the trip. It's going to be a surprise.
