Chapter 3
So they decided to go to Barcelona, Spain. They thoroughly checked the Websites for Hotels because they also wanted to be near The Beach. They checked the Restauants, Bars & Cafes and most of all The Nightclubs.
They did some shopping and then they did their Summer Clothes and went through everything like a fine toothed comb. To make it easier, Caroline paid for the tickets and then Kate gave her a Bank Transfer to pay on The Credit Card. They both had their Passports and also got Fresh Travelling Toiletries like Toothbrushes, Combs and the like.
They ironed their Clothes and they agreed Kate would stay at Caroline's so it was easier for travelling and the like. Will made arrangements to drive them to The Airport that made him very happy, and since Lawrence was spending time with John things ran smoothly. Kate made arrangements for her Mail to be picked up while Celia promised that she'd collect Caroline's.
After putting in their Tickets they got their seats where Caroline sat in The Middle while Kate sat in an aisle seat. They happily smiled and had a delicious Snack of Salad with Rolls and Cake.
Upon arrival, they got a Taxi and to Caroline's Surprise, Kate spoke Spanish. When she visited her American Relatives she learned from her Mother's Friend Mrs. Garcia. She also studied it in School but she soon saw that The American Spanish Dialect was slightly different from The European. Kind of like with French.
They arrived at their Hotel, The Ofelias and after checking in, they were lead to their Room by an Employee named Carlos lead them to their Room and Kate "Tipped" him.
They worked out an agreement that they would take "turns" with Tips. They looked around and grinned.
"Oh this is so beautiful." remarked Caroline.
"I know right." grinned Kate. "This is going to be so much fun."
So they unpacked and organized themselves and decided to change their Clothes which consisted of Bermuda Shorts, Tops, and Sandals.
They went to The Buenos Aires Restaurant and while Kate had a Steak Dinner, Caroline had a Shrimp Dinner. Caroline Drank White Wine while Kate had a Cola. She wasn't much of a drinker so it was no big deal.
For Dessert they each had Cheesecake and Ice Cream. Afterwards, they decided to Walk around. Kate was good with Maps and remembering certain landmarks feeling no lady was safe at night. They also asked where the nearest Beach was and they got information as well. It was such a beautiful day, they had this perpetual smile on their Face. They took pictures and they asked someone to take pictures with Kate's Camera.
They even stopped off at a Cafe and had Cappuccinos and watched folks walk around. They heard a smattering of Spanish & English.
They were a little bit tired from the Jet Lag but they still were in an upbeat mood. They decided to go upstairs back to their Room with a Balcony and just chilax.
They sat on two separate Bench Chairs and just relaxed. They had some Bottled Water from downstairs and used some Ice. Some romantic Music was playing on The Speakers and they happily held each other's hands.
"This is paradise isn't it?" grinned Kate as she and Caroline toasted each other.
"You bet." smiled Caroline.
They just sat, saw the Moon and the Stars twinkling and they were happy because they felt it was made especially for them. After awhile, Kate gently kissed Caroline and lead her to bed. They didn't make love but they were happy snuggling in each other's arms. They happily slept with smiles on their faces looking forward to the next celebration.
