Pod English 40: Travelling

If we don't get there in 20 minutes, we're going to be late for our flight.

I've had a stroke of bad luck. (things are going wrong)
I've had a stroke of luck! I've won a trip to Paris.

We ended up getting a taxi to the airport.
We tired to take a shortcut and ended up getting lost.
We couldn't get flights, so we ended up staying at home.
end up = to finally be in as situation or place

If we don't hurry up we are going to miss our train.

I've had a stroke of bad luck.  My passport has been stolen!
