history: My brother and a bunch of our friends planned to go to a 15-person cottage in July. I could not wait for all the fun and games we would experience! My brother and a bunch of our friends planned to go to a 15-person cottage in July. Oh my_comma_ that sounds like an absolute blast! It was. At that time_comma_ I couldn't wait for all the fun and games we would experience! Did you stay for long? That would be a great vacation. 
current: We stayed for only 4 days because it cost us about $200 each for four days and nights, but I hope we can book it for a whole week or two next summer.
next: What a great time! Is the cottage on a lake?
