As expected after such a flight.

K-T was a bit hit by the heat when he got out of the plane after such a wonderful flight. He went down the stairs and into the airport in a way that was very new for him. Lily, while not explicitly his girlfriend at this point, having not put it into words yet, had kept holding his hand after leaving their seats.

Passport checks, getting their luggage back and going through customs were mere formalities. The locals working at the airport were really welcoming to tourists and helped their little group be on their way in as little time as possible.

Someone working for the group organizing the trip was waiting for them outside the airport with the minibus that would drive them to the hotel.

"Welcome to the Berlewda Republic, I'm Esmeralda, your guide. We will soon board the shuttle and go to the hotel. We currently are on Isla Berlewda, the largest island, capital and economic center. Nearly 50 years ago our esteemed leader, the great commander, Donabella Ricardo, gathered five islands recently released from the colonial powers and united them into our wonderful Berlewda Republic. Under her rule we capitalized on our land as our most precious resource and invested in the tourism industry. We try to provide our visitors with everything they want for their vacations and the freedom to enjoy it. We have a mix of luxury exclusive hotels and pretty affordable ones to attract tourists from every social standing. The drinking age and age of consent is set at 18 in the republic, we also offer a range of recreational **** without any side effects or addictive properties they all bear the seal of our republic, selling dangerous or addictive **** incurs the **** penalty. All the islands are at least clothing optional, but don't forget to check the guides that I will hand to you, due to their history some laws differ from one island to another." She explained in perfect English with only a slight accent.

They got into the minibus, and drove away from the airport. K-T leafed through the booklet he was given, it was written in English, Spanish, Dutch and French, the languages of the countries that once owned the 5 Islands. It advertised wonderful activities such as surfing, scuba diving, paras ailing, horse riding, nightclubs and even sex clubs. There were a lot of pictures having fun and on some pages he could spot one or two that were naked, while on others it was a lot more or all of them that were naked. The mention that the islands were at least clothing optional sat weirdly in K-T's mind. Why at least? What more could there be?

"You're lucky ones to have won such a vacation. The chain that organizes it is one that doesn't do big buildings for their hotel rooms, your accommodations are 4 two bedroom bungalows and you can pick where you want to stay on any of the 5 Islands. Check between yourselves how you want to split up and where you want to go:Isla Titania, Isla Berlewda the main island, La Grande Boutica, Bolas Azures or Mojado Hendedura."

Just like when it went to pick who could go, debate erupted within the group. Emily first wanted two bungalows for her and her friends, offering to have Lily with them. It would leave two bungalows for their parents, their aunt and K-T. K-T knew that they probably wouldn't trust him to be on his own for two weeks and he might end up either with his parents or his aunt, this didn't bode well for his hopes of getting things further with Lily.

K-T deployed oratory talents he didn't knew he had and campaigned for a solution that would please everyone. He try to convince his sister that their two bungalows would maybe not be next to each other and that in the end she and her friends would probably spend all of their time together anyway, so wouldn't they be better off sharing one between the three of them? The hotel would probably be able to get them all separate beds. He said that his parents really needed some rest for this once in a lifetime vacation and it would be cruel to make them share their home with someone else while they could enjoy some second honeymoon instead. This would leave a bungalow for his aunt who probably didn't want to spend two weeks babysitting youngsters anyway. And of course since Emily got to hang out with her friends it was pretty normal for him to do the same and he could share the last bungalow with Lily, with a room for each of them.

He had convincing arguments and his plan was agreed with only a small condition. While K-T's parents trusted Emily and her friends to be mature enough to be alone, it wasn't the same for K-T and Lily. They wanted his aunt Jill to at least be on the same island as they were and for them to meet at least once a day to make sure everything went swimmingly.

None of them had long to familiarize themselves with the particularities of the various islands and tried to pick based on the pictures from the booklets. His parents and sister picked rather quickly, but when it came to K-T it took a bit longer.

There were three of them and they were **** to go to the same place. They all gave their pick and two of them had picked the same, so, following the democratic rule, the third one had to go along.
