TRANSCRIPTION OF UNSCRIPTED SPEECH

It was an all-inclusive resort, and we stayed jus’ for four nights an’ I wish it would ’a’ been longer. But we only got to stay for four nights, an’ we went swimming an’ we walked on the beach, an’ we went-- we did a lotta shopping. (Uhn) There were shows that we went to go see. We met some nice people from Canada there. We met two or three couples, actually, that were from Canada. There was some couple from Toronto, an’ one from Calvary, which-- I think that’s not how you say it, it’s something else, but we kept calling it Calvary. An’ we actually spent a lotta time with these people from Canada there. An’ (um) then we flew home, an’ we had a few more days here. So it was kind of like an extended honeymoon. An’ that was pretty much it. Then we got-- had to go back to work, an’ now we’ve been married for two months. An’ it seems like it’s gone by really fast already….
