Answer:

Last month my family went for a vacation to Corbett National Park. Arranging the journey was a lot of work. The first problem we faced was that of getting there. When we decided on the date of travel, all the train tickets for that day were sold out. So we decided to book a small van. We called many different cab companies to compare prices. Finally, we booked a van with a company my brother had spoken to that morning. Then, we called the hotel that we had already shortlisted to confirm our reservation. We transferred the advance to the hotel account, and asked them to check if they had received it. It was only after the hotel confirmed the reservation, we began packing.
