Vacation

Next week, I'll leave go to Mexico for a vacation week. I hope that the staff and tourists over there will mostly speak English so I could can practice my English conversation (so I can practice speaking English). It was really unexpected for me to have the opportunity/chance to go on leave for a vacation. I didn't plan it at all. My friend called me last week asking me to go to on vacation with him. I hesitated at first because the weather is really good now in Canada... But a week's of vacation would be well deserved so I said yes and the trip is now booked :) It will be the second time that I go overseas with my friend. I hope that I will be able to do a lot of sports: volleyball, gym, kayak, bicycle, catamaran, yoga, swimming, tennis. As you can see, I'm really sporty and vacations are the perfect time to do (play) sports and relax.

As you are living in Canada I presume you are most interested in American English. But just out of interest in British English we would say 'go on holiday', rather than 'go on vacation', although of course we know what 'vacation' means. I hope you have a nice time in Mexico.
