  Tom: She said that her mother was ill and stayed in the hospital, and therefore she wanted to go home to see her.
  Kaylyn: I am sorry to hear that. Well, What do you think? Should we take some food?
  Tom: That sounds great. Maybe we could have a picnic on the beach. Then let's take some sandwiches, chips, and uh... some salad as well.
  Kaylyn: We should also take some drinks like Coke and beer.
  Tom: Good. In addition, we had better pack beach towels and sun cream.
  Kaylyn: OK. Please don't forget to give me a call and let's go down together.
