<div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/NxaLBd2.jpg)</div>Name: Leah Rivers (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=287870.msg14155025#msg14155025)<br/>Location/Time: JFK, London and on to the Linea.<br/>Tagging: Shoko, Tory, and everyone<br/>Wearing: Loose comfortable t-shirt with saying: "It was just a Dream", soft dark blue linen trousers with an elastic waist and draw string, sandals.<br/><br/>Leah sighed as she entered the JFK terminal, looking around as she walked through the crowd, she has 4 hours to kill before catching her connecting flight.  She knew there were other ladies joining the cruise contending, not really contending, more like presenting themselves to Clover for consideration.   Why did she let her friends talk her into this again? OH right, she hasn't been on a real vacation in years, Clover and her offer was interesting and at the very least she gets a cruise with a bunch of lady loving, lovely ladies out of it, win-win situation.  And maybe she comes out of it with a relationship for a bonus.<br/><br/>Her business was in good hands while she was away, her cats were with friends, and she wasn't allowed to bring any electronics but her smartphone, which she had loaded several good books on for reading.  She had several changes of clothing, several new 2 piece bikinis and from what she had researched about yachts, she would be able to clean her clothes regularly and they would be sailing the Mediterranean, plenty of places to put to port.  But for now, food was of the essence, she would find a nice salad place and waste as much time as possible eating.  Then she would stake out the lounge for her connecting flight and see if she could spot any others.<br/><br/>As she was sitting in the lounge of American Airlines flight 104, she made note of all the people wandering in and joining the wait for boarding.  She was reading a book off of her Galaxy, making guesses about which women were part of the bachelorette cruise.  She had a simple criteria, look for the pretty women who weren't in business suits or with family.  She had a good half dozen candidates from among the passengers and all of them seemed nice.  Her guesses grew stronger as all of her picks were seating in the same area of business class.  The ladies where of various social classes and heritages, this spoke very well of Clover.  She was looking forward to the trip even more.<br/><br/>Aurora Vega, Rory, was the first one to break the ice with her, coming over and introducing herself.  They hit it off pretty quickly, talking about working out, cats, martial arts, science and a wide range of subjects.   Leah was impressed with how much Rory has educated herself about a wide range of subjects.<br/><br/>The second person Leah hit it off with pretty quickly was Shoko Oba, they both played board games and got into comparing different board games and styles of play.  Leah learned that Shoko's favorite board game was Dominion, which she had played and thought it was well designed game with lots of replayability.<br/><br/>Leah met the others, but hasn't had a chance to sit down and talk with them much yet, all of them are nice and intelligent. She was sure she would find things to talk with each of them over time.  They had a 6 hour flight ahead, although poor Kelli passed out almost as soon as she sat down, she had come over from california.  Finding out Harmony was from Houston, Leah got to play who had the worst traffic, Harmony won but Austin was catching up.  Amanda was a model, and Rachel was a sweet lady from Cleveland.<br/><br/>Arriving at Heathrow, they met up with the last three ladies to be joining in on the Bachelorette Cruise.  Maya, Valkyrie and Mila, three more interesting ladies.  Valkyrie was from the Thornton family and being in the financial world she has heard of the Thornton's and of her family's wealth, as a little league player checking on the big leagues.  Mila was a dancer from Russia, hopefully she can escape their repressive laws.<br/><br/>Maya was another ice breaker, we had barely joined up when she going around and introducing herself and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't help laughing at Maya's silly faces and jokes.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, after that her energy started flagging and she slept for a lot of the rest of the trip, dozing next to Rory.  It was a shame she was asleep for the private plane leg of the trip, because she had never had the chance to travel in a Gulfstream before, from what she remembered, it was FANCY.  During the last leg of the trip to the yacht she woke up and got to see the Linea as they pulled up to it.  It was HUGE, the name yacht doesn't do it service.<br/><br/>When the captain informed them that they would have to double up, except for two who had requested a private suite, Leah immediately turned toward Rory,<strong>"Shall we room together?"</strong>She smiled softly and shrugged her shoulders, causing her large, firm breasts to press against her t-shirt.<strong>"I think I can survive rooming with you,"</strong>she tried for a joking tone, but it might have fell flat, not quite the playfulness necessary.<strong> "I am looking forward to stowing this suitcase somewhere I can't see it for at least a month and getting into fresh clothes."</strong><br/><br/>After she but her stuff in a suite, she would take a quick shower to wash off the feel of travelling and then change into a yellow 2 piece string bikini with white deck shorts and a long, flowing nearly see thru white blouse that was only partly buttoned up as she joined the other ladies at the bar where she got a glass of water as she waited with the others to meet Clover for the first time.
