The warmth of the sun shining in the Dining Car windows. It had been a wonderful night and she was very grateful for having been chosen to lead this vacation itinerary.  She traveled with such interesting people. Docent was almost bubbling over with the excitement of getting to know more of them and tonight she would have another very intimate chance to do just that.<br/><br/>Portero stopped by her table briefly offering friendly smiles and cleaning up her table. <em>"It's all set,"</em> he said. <em>"Everything is confirmed for today and I will have the nights postings set up before you have all returned for the evening.  Was there anything else I may do for you?"</em> His voice had a hopeful hint to it. She knew what he had wanted. Alone he had made it clear to her that he was hungry to share her bed and disappointed that he had not had the chance to do so. Perhaps another time they might. It was going to be a long trip, there would be many opportunities.<br/><br/><em>"No, thank you.  The guests will be rising soon for brunch and to prepare for their day.  I expect they will have a bit more of a relaxing day today and lots of energy for this evening."</em> She smiled back at him as he nodded then departed.<br/><br/>Before Docent had even taken her seat she had confirmed most of the reservations herself already but it was good to know that he was double checking everything. She had laid out a copy of the itinerary for the day as well as pamphlets and small maps with highlights for everyone.  She would see to it that they had anything they desired.  The entire vacation was built around the concept of luxury and decadence.  Hedonism was about savoring the pleasures of life, from the indulgences of fine foods, wines, art and the body. It was all manner of indulgence. Her task was to see that the guests pleasures were seen to in any and all forms.  Pleasures for the mind, body and soul she thought to herself.<br/><br/>Docent smiled as she watched the first guests arriving for a morning meal...<br/><br/><br/><strong>Salobrena, Spain on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea</strong><br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>(( The following is just a general outline for how your day on tour will go, please feel free to take liberties with items for the purpose of your role playing interactions.  The events/game time will play out over the course of the next couple of real days while we give time for people to post and interact.  <br/><br/>I'll be posting the Nighttime Roommate Assignments sometime today/tonight to let the boys know who they will be sharing a room with and give them the day or two to prepare and post their stories in that thread.<br/><br/><em>Note</em>: The train is parked just a short walk from the beach through a quiet tourist section with some cart vendors and open cafes.))</strong><br/><br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Itinerary Provided for all as per Post</strong></span>:<br/><br/><strong>10 - 12</strong>  Brunch on board the Al-Andalus Train<br/><strong>12 - 2</strong>  Free-time on the beach<br/><strong>2 - 9</strong>  For those that wish to take the trip<br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>A trip by land rovers to Granada (50min drive) </li><li>The Granada trip will include a tour of the Alhambra UNESCO World Heritage Site </li><li>Lunch in the water gardens of the Alhambra  </li><li>Followed with free-time in the Granada Open Air Markets (stipends provided)</li></ul><em> * For those that don't wish to take the trip they may relax in Salobrena.
