I’d met Stacey via a mutual friend, but never in person, as we live on opposite sides of the world; me in Asia and her in North America. She is a little older than me, fifteen years or so, but she is really attractive, outgoing and fun, with the sexy confidence that comes with maturity. We both share a passion for nature, nights out, pets and travel, so when she invited me on an Alaskan cruise, I readily accepted.
I was excited with anticipation upon landing in Vancouver, not at all nervous, as we had chatted many times over the years and knew each other very well indeed. I spotted her straightaway outside the airport, where she graciously picked me up, and she looked even more radiant in person. I kissed her cheek and she led me to her SUV, where her mother and friend who were accompanying us on the cruise were waiting. After stopping for lunch we arrived at the port early for the departure that evening and spent our time getting acquainted over some drinks.
