Want to select a random item from a list and reuse the item in a different function

my code is pretty messy as I am new but I cant figure this out!

I have only included the relevant pieces of my code btw.

Pretty much What i want it to do is say the same location twice for random_place1 and then a new location for random_place2. Currently it just gives me three separate locations, because i am just calling for random_place1 to rerandomize.

def random_place1():

import random

locations = ["Paris" , "New York", "San Francisco" , "Tokyo", "Istanbul", "São Paulo", "Xi'an", "Bogotá", "Casablanca", "Rabat"]


first_place = random.choice(locations)

return (first_place)

def random_place2():

import random

locations = ["London" , "Miami" , "Chicago", "Cairo", "Vienna" , "Manila", "Munich", "Delhi"]


second_place = random.choice(locations)
return(second_place)

def main():

answer = input("Type Yes to continue or No to exit: ")
if answer == "yes":
    print("\nLast summer, we went for a vacation with " + random_name(), "on a trip to " + random_place1(), ". The weather there is very " + random_adj(), "!

    restart2()
