Chapter II.
Kitty, Christophe and Eric leave for Big Pine on Friday, June 27, 2025. Christophe says, "I made reservations with a licensed therapeutic massage therapist in Big Pine Key, whom you might enjoy, Jodi Gray."
"Where did you make hotel reservations?" asks Kitty. "I made hotel reservations in Islamorada, Key Largo, and Coral Gables. I also booked two rooms at Kona Kai in Key Largo on the way back," Christophe responded.
Kitty queries, "Are we going to a number of art galleries in Islamorada?" "Yes, several," responds Christophe, "The Keys to Life Art Studio, Gallery Morada, and Morada Way-Arts and Cultural District."
Kitty asks, "How about Key Largo?" Christophe responds, "Yes, there is the Key Largo Art Gallery, as well as the Gallery at Kona Kai."
“The Key Largo Art Gallery has local artists creating paintings, glass, pottery, and sculpture. The Art Gallery of Kona Kai has international work by French painter Dirk Verdoorn, and Tuscan sculpter Polles,” Christophe explains.
On June 27, 2025, Christophe and Kitty arrive in Big Pine.
Kitty says, "The Lower Keys! We are looking for Jodi Gray, you said?" Christophe responds, "Yes, a licensed therapist, specializing in therapeutic massage." "I found the building number," says Kitty, "It is 5-5-6."
Christophe announces, "I called ahead with a reservation." The massage goes as planned. Eric, Christophe and Kitty eat at Papa Jim's Pizza and Subs.
The couple arrives at Cheeca Lodge & Spa, in Islamorada. Christophe checks in to room 211 & 215, gets a wake-up call for 7 a.m., and gives Kitty all three of the key-cards.
The couple kisses in the door way, and make love as soon as she slides into her purple, Victoria Secret Sexy Lace-Side Satin Slip. Christophe is immediately aroused and seduced.
On Saturday, June 28, 2025, they wake up in their California King bed, in the Cheeca Lodge & Spa, at 7:00 a.m.
Christophe affirms, "There goes our wake up call." Kitty responds, "Do you want to eat at around nine?" "Yes, we had better re-set the alarm for 8:15 a.m., take shower a shower together (in the oversized shower), get dressed, and eat breakfast."
She was still wearing her purple, Victoria’s Secret silk slip from the night before. They make love again, to welcome the new day.
Kitty says, “Today, we see the Morada Way- Arts & Cultural District?" Christophe asks, “Would you like to get into the hot tub before we leave?” Kitty responds, “Sure. Why not?”
Before they check out, they change into their bathing suits; she gets into her Body Glove Hilo bikini, and Christophe gets into his Tommy Bahama trunks.
Christophe says, “How about we go to Morada Way Arts & Cultural District; this is located on 81549 Old Highway. Then we can all hit the beach!”
Then the couple turned into Shula Burgers, on Overseas Highway, for lunch. All three of them had regular Shula Burgers to eat. Kitty orders her's with no pickle; Eric and Christophe have theirs with no tomato.
They view galleries in Islamorada, followed by the beach. The galleries that Kitty, Christophe and Eric visit are the Morada Way Arts & Cultural Arts District.
Kitty smiles from ear to ear, and remarks, "The beach appears divine today!" Christophe responds, "Yes, the Atlantic looks vibrant!" They arrive at the Hilton Key Largo, to check in at 12:30 p.m.
Chaz, the Front Desk Supervisor, checks in Christophe: "Name on the Reservation?" "Thomas. Christophe Thomas," responds Christophe.
Chaz asks, "Are you a Hilton Honors Member?" Christophe says, "Yes, here is my card." "I also need to see your driver's license, and a form of payment, for incidentals, Sir," requests Chaz. Christophe responds, "Sure."
Chaz says, "Here are your three key cards. You are in room 422 & 426." Christophe asks, " Can I get a wake-up call for 8:00 a.m.?" Chaz responds, "Yes, and check out time is 11:00 a.m."
Christophe gives him his key card. Kitty says to Christophe, "See you at room 4-2-2." Christophe adds, "I will bring up the the luggage."
