person A: I was out of town on a business trip and felt very isolated.  I did not know anyone and had no one to hang out with.
person B: Oh_comma_ I'm sorry you had that experience. When I was traveling cross-country_comma_ I used to FaceTime or Skype friends and family. Would that work for you?
person A: I could do that_comma_ but I do not like to go out to eat alone.  Skype does not help with that.
person B: That's very true. Another thing I did was find a Trader Joe's or some sort of store and stock up on decent food. Eating alone's no fun_comma_ but at least you're safe and nourished!
