Why did Howard go out for food and/or drink. Hospitals have vending machines.

Options for Howard:
1) Get food from hospital vending machines? Puke
2) Get food from anywhere else. Yes.

Nevertheless, I agree with that excuse to leave giving him options

Why not get food when driving from the airport to the hospital? Who SUDDENLY got hungry? Were the pictures of Daniel, Anna and baby taken BEFORE Howard went out for food?

I guess my thoughts are: What would I ask Daniel when he got off the plane? How was your flight? I know you don't like to fly. Did you eat? We can stop on the way to the hospital, if you are.
