A: Welcome back! How was it?
B: Terrible.
A: Really? You were so excited about going.
B: I know, but I sure am glad to be back.
A: What happened?
B: First of all, there was the weather. It rained every day. Not just a little, but all day! There we were with these gorgeous beaches and no sun!
A: I guess you didn’t get much of a tan.
B: Look at me! I’m as pale as I was before.
A: At least you must have gotten some rest.
B: Rest! The second day we were there, my husband got sick. He was sneezing and coughing for three days and nights. Then I caught his cold. I felt awful until the day we left.
A: Well, how was the food?
B: That was the only nice thing about the whole week. Except that we were too sick to enjoy it half the time. Anything new here in the office?
A: Not much. It’s been a slow week.
