When writing about such a grandiose structure, it's hard to pick which items to cover, describing everything in detail would take at least a book in itself. I tried to provide a little history along with the descriptions. @JACC shared pictures of the cool and hot windows that matched my descriptions pretty well, so I was happy for that. They have limited time in Barcelona, so even CJ can't do everything he might want to. But over a late lunch after touring the church, we get to hear some of what they did the previous afternoon.

Writing kids can be challenging. I try to keep the dialogue age appropriate and they do give me a new way to inject descriptions and details. BTW Joan Abello's real; Arnau isn't. The trip's an excuse to further the kids' training hoping to turn them into foodies and oenophiles.

We have one more chapter in Barcelona, then we spend a couple of days on the boat. Stick round, it'll be fun.

I'm running errands early so I miss the expected deluge. Had to stop for breakfast and your comment helps me deal with the lousy weather. 😛

Sunday, 2 May 2027 Barcelona Done eating, Ritch excused himself to go change. He expected his suitcase to have been delivered by then, and Lucy followed him. About an hour later, the grinning, flushed couple rejoined the family in the hotel’s lobby. T-shirts or polos, hoodies, jeans, and sneakers appeared to be the day’s uniform. Brett voiced what others thought. “You went to change? Sure as hell took you forever, flyboy.” Before Ritch could object, his father stripped the Aviano A

It's a prohibition-era speakeasy and restaurant where CJ celebrated his 21st birthday https://www.21club.com/

After I decided to have Liebe suspended, I thought Parker would make a good tutor. LOL Me, I've been around these books from the first one. LOL

Thank you! I offer the same explanation I did when readers questioned Stephen Northman's employment in CDMX: hiring is an inexact process. Sometimes the value of an employee skyrockets due to outstanding performance; other times they disappoint us. Nina's obviously in between both ends. She's likely talented or she wouldn't have been hired but her personality could lead to her being dismissed.
-
And with the support of both her fathers she'll steamroll over those people. We've gotten two glimpses at her, and she's indomitable.
-
Damn! I have an image of CJ, Owen, and Liebe flying to LA, San Francisco (Napa,) and Vegas in 2026 for campaign fundraisers. In Los Angeles, Harry and Meghan are invited to the Sunday afternoon reception where Liebe and Lilibet hit it off. At some point, Lilibet's cousin, George, teaches the younger kids proper British cussin.

I think North Korea will trip him up.
-
Two more chapters and CJ takes over. We'll see the kids reaction to the first meal aboard and CJ's subsequent conversation with Nina. Poor woman has no idea who she'll be tangling with.
-
CJ may not change his personality, but being in the limelight frequently will lead him to soften his approach at times. However, I can guarantee he goes off on a couple of senators, completely trashing them. Once while having lunch at Forbes Grille, his private dining club. And also during his confirmation hearing when appointed ambassador to Cuba by Biden.
-
She's definitely CJ's daughter, and we saw further proof in Loving Anniversary. I suspect she'll be a cunning, manipulative, woman who more often than not will get her way.

Spanish chorizo's my favorite, but I mentioned the Mexican version in CDMX, and CJ and Owen will be sampling Portuguese chourico in a future story. Did you see the picture I posted in the forum thread? How can anyone tell those two apart is a mystery. CJ and Owen have a temporay solution to the problem. I'm pretty sure she'll end up with at least one tattoo. Her grandmother will hate it but the twins will insist they want ink too.
-
Yep. Those three will have sophisticated palates by the time they become adults. i suspect the three will be traveling a lot. CJ and Owen will only leave them behind a few times.
-
Yeah, they're simply being nice for now. Let's see how they handle the adults once at sea. Oh, wait, everyone will be cursing like sailors!
-
Welcome to the party, Jeff. LOL The next couple of chapters will feature the family playing in Barcelona before they board the Flying Circus. I recycle a couple of characters and introduce a couple of new ones. Let's see if they fit in.
-
Oh, please. You have plenty of supporters of your own. Aren't your stories the most popular ones on GA? I'm sure your readers will back you up.
-
I can see Jeffer and Roo getting into fights when some kid uses a homophobic slur like most boys will. That might be a fun flash piece to write.
-
You mentioned food in stories in your AAA outing. Get ready for a lot of eating and drinking.
-
And if they wind up spending time in Australia, mingling with vineyard and winery workers, they'll be fluent in American and Australian cursing.
-
I'm not sure I did it consciously, but you're entirely right. Looking at my recent stories, characters are introduced when they become part of the action; in this case I lumped them all together at the beginning. Although I'll share tidbits about most of them in future chapters, I wanted the focus to be on the family and how they interact. I'll identify them when they show up again. LOL
-
Thanks, Tor.

The only Bravo show I religiously watch is Top Chef. It has influenced meals and restaurant choices in my stories. I've caught at least one show from each of the Below Deck franchises (a couple more of the Down Under 'cause the captain's hot) but those shows concentrate almost entirely on drama among crew members. I guess my story's more Above Deck than Below Deck. LOL CJ may have a word or two with Nina at some point.
