What do we do when we go camping? First, we work out a plan. We take food, clothing, a knife, and things for cooking and eating. We take things to keep us away from insects and the sun.
Then we put everything into the car and we drive to the woods(树林), and we look for a good place for our tent.The place should have a lot of moving air. This will keep some insects away. High land with water on both sides of it is good. Then we put up our tent. We put everything into the tent, and we are ready for fun. We can swim in the lake, walk in the woods, climb a mountain, take a boat, or go fishing.
In the evening we come back to the tent, we make a big fire because it can keep the insects away. We sit around the fire and talk. We may tell interesting stories or we may sing songs.
At night we lie down on the grass. We can look up at the stars. It is a busy day, so we try to go to sleep early.
Everything is dark. Everything is quiet. We hope we won't hear music from the radio in the next tent. We hope it won't rain.

Gregg's dream was to travel around the Americas(美洲). He got the idea after he finished a long bike ride. Gregg's friend, Brooks, also liked riding a bike. The two friends talked and made a plan; they would travel from Alaska to Argentina by bike.
To pay for the trip, Gregg and Brooks worked to save money for a long time. When they were on the road, they often camped outdoors and ate cheaply. In many places, local people opened their doors to the two friends and gave them food.
On their way, there were deserts, rainforests and mountains. They visited modern cities and ancient ruins. And they made many friends from all over the world.
Two years later, Gregg finally reached Ushuaia, Argentina in May 2007. (Near Guatemala, Brooks had to go back and Gregg continued without him.)
They both learned a lot about travelling. Here are some of Gregg's suggestions.
Travel light. You shouldn't carry many things with you.
Be flexible(灵活的). Don't plan everything. Then you'll be more relaxed and pleased.
Be polite. One traveller told Gregg, “Nobody wants to cheat a nice man.” It's true.
根据短文内容判断正误， 正确的填A, 错误的填B。
26．Before the trip, they had a lot of money.
27．All of their food came from local people.
28．They began to travel around the Americas in 2005.
29．Both of them reached Ushuaia, Argentina.
30．A nice man won't be cheated.

First, I'd like to know the date when we start and how long it may last so that I can get ready for it. Besides, how about the food? I'd like to enjoy a different taste. Also I care about the price of the tour and what it includes. Could you please give me more information?
I'm looking forward to your reply.
Yours truly,
