PHRASAL VERBS Hugh and Loretta took a trip to the US last year. Complete the story with the phrasal verbs. Tenses might need to be adjusted. Check into – check out – fly in – set off – put up with – see us off – pick us up – look forward – bring back Hugh: “We got married in June last year. About fifty of our closest friends and relatives came to the wedding, including some of Loretta’s family who flew in from Edinburgh. It was a big day and we had a late night, but we had an early start the next day. “We set off at 5am from Dublin airport. We flew direct from Dublin to Boston and stayed at a really nice hotel in Boston for the first few days. When we checked into the hotel and told them we were on our honeymoon, the staff upgraded us to a suite. It was fantastic and when we checked out of the hotel we gave the staff a bottle of champagne as a thank you for upgrading us. “We then picked up a motorcycle from the rental agency and rode down to New York, which was an adventure! We stayed in a tiny apartment and had to put up with a lot of noise from the neighbours who were having parties every night. We had been looking forward to visiting New York City for a long time, but we had bad weather there. From there we caught the train to Philadelphia to visit some of Loretta’s relatives. They picked us up from the train station and we stayed in Philly for three days. When the day came to catch the bus to Miami, Loretta’s relatives saw us off at the bus station. She was so emotional!” Loretta: “Miami was amazing! It was so hot and so much fun. We partied every night and then took a cruise around the Caribbean for a week. The ship docked at New Orleans, and we spent our final days buying souvenirs and visiting places in and around New Orleans. We brought back all kinds of gifts for our families. But we were surprised by how friendly the people were. The owner of the B&B even drove us to the airport on our last day!” Can you match the phrasal verbs with their meanings?
