**Dear Ted,**
I'm going to California for the summer holidays! I'm flying there, which is the quickest way. I won't be alone, as my friend is coming with me, and probably my brother too.
If we decide, we'll stay in San Francisco for a week, and then go somewhere else. I hope we can find a place to sleep, and I'm definitely bringing my swimsuit and sunglasses, because I'm sure we'll be sunbathing a lot.
I think this is going to be a great holiday. Do you want to join us?
**Best,**
Jim
**Usage of will and be going to:**
* **Will:**
* To make predictions or express future certainty based on the speaker's belief or assumption. For example:

* **Be going to:**
* To express plans or intentions made before the moment of speaking. For example:
* Jim is going to California with his friend and brother.
In Jim's letter, he uses both will and be going to. He uses will to make predictions about the future, such as "I'm sure we'll be sunbathing a lot." He uses be going to to express his plans, such as "If we decide, we'll stay in San Francisco for a week."
