A cheer as they announced that our ‘plane had arrived. We were ‘escorted’ out by our guards, trusting our luggage was on the plane.

An 8.5 hour flight over the Pacific.

The plane descended ... superb islands, beaches, seaside cottages, yachts.

Into Arrivals. Welcomed by a group of young ladies in hula skirts, swaying, singing to us … in French!

Waiting for the onward flight in the lounge.

“English?” She swayed her hula skirt as she stood there holding two drinks. “On your own?”

She sat beside me, the strands of her hula skirt falling round her otherwise naked legs!

Yes, that’s why I decided to do this set. I also decided to follow your lead and in my case write one a day on this particular topic
