I'm trying to do this without thinking about it too much:

1. I went to the Super Bowl last year. I saw the Van Gogh exhibit while I was in town.

2. final arrival (please incorporate a variant of those last two words) Not sure about that bit, but: Finally! I wasn't sure you would ever arrive! (Normally I'd say "show up" or "get here" instead of "arrive.")

Hope it helps,
