person A: Sometimes I enjoy being alone_comma_ but not on a long trip that takes me far away from home.
person B: I know exactly what you mean.  It gets so lonely on the road.  Have you had to go away recently?
person A: This was a while back_comma_ but I planned a bicycle trip that went across several states. Although I had a buddy coming with me originally_comma_ he ended up bailing and I went alone. I called it quits halfway.
person B: That's still quite a long ride.  Do you do a lot of long distance biking?
