"You don't need to bring swimsuits and bath towels, you can buy them at the beach," Xaviar said to Anna Ainsworth on the side. "All you need to do is go with us, you can buy anything on Beach Street anyway."
Since they set off in the evening and encountered a traffic jam on the way, holiday travel caused traffic congestion to be the norm. Anna felt that traveling during the holidays was the worst choice possible, without exception.
She really wanted to ask why they insisted on traveling during the holidays, when it was best to stay at home. Watching the hustle and bustle of people around the country on TV and online was far better than becoming part of the overcrowded masses.

Because of the traffic jam, when they arrived at the beach, it was already past eight o'clock at night. Only a few people were wandering sparsely on the beach.
