"Robert, look what I just got!" Gail said excitedly to her husband.
"What is it Gail? Robert asked gruffly, annoyed at having to look up from his morning crossword.
It's an e- mail from Laurel Fenton! Listen to this! Laurel says they're having a great time and says they should have gone to Thailand years ago. Oh, Robert, I'm so happy for them! I was getting really worried about Laurel. She's been so unhappy with her life. It feels good to have helped them out. It sounds like they love it!"
"I knew she was having a struggle with Steve but I didn't realize how serious it really was. Listen, Laurel goes on to say if we hadn't inspired them to go their marriage would probably have ended. I wish she'd told me sooner! Maybe I could have helped them before it got so bad."
"You know Gail, that's one of your biggest problems. You've got to learn when to butt out. It seems to me things have a way of working out without any interference from you!" Robert lectured. As for us being an inspiration, I mean come on. We don't even have our own act together!"
"Don't get me wrong, I'm pleased for them too. But you can see for yourself, a few weeks away can work wonders."
Gail felt miffed! It's not that he was so wrong. It was just his self- righteous way of saying it. Robert had a way of making her feel nosy and interfering. The irony of it all was that just before Steve and Laurel left on their holiday Laurel had confided to her that she envied their marriage.
If she only knew!
Then Gail had an idea. Wouldn't it be fun if they could go back to Thailand and surprise Steve and Laurel? She hated being at home with Robert anyway. Ever since his retirement last year he had become quite impossible, requiring lots of attention and always under her feet! He was so much better when on holiday.
"Robert, I know this might sound funny but what would you think about going back to Thailand and surprising the Fentons? We could just show up. What a shock it would be for them! Oh Robert, please won't you say yes? Please?"
"Jesus Gail, we just got back from there. Do you think we are made of money? Besides, I thought we were going to Bermuda in six weeks time!"
Robert folded his paper with an exasperated sigh. He knew once Gail got a bee under her bonnet she wouldn't take no for an answer! Starting to mentally compose his rebuttal, he braced himself for another one of her moods. Robert knew if he refused her request he could probably kiss his sex life goodbye and was in for at least three days of icy silence.
Gail smiled to herself. She had him! Robert couldn't very well say no. Hadn't he just said a few weeks away could work wonders? Robert had walked into his own trap. He knew as well as she did they hadn't been getting along since returning from their trip. Anyway, what better way to fix their problems than to go back to Thailand?
************************
Robert sat watching the stewardess pointing out the emergency exits and wondered how in hell Gail had managed to get her way once again. He wished they would hurry up and serve lunch.
Oh well, he thought. At least the drinks are free and the stewardesses are good looking. That'll help pass the time. Man, what a nice ass, I'd like to get that in bed, Robert thought, watching as one of the girls leaned over to help an older passenger adjust her seatbelt. Gail gave him a disapproving look. Robert found himself wishing she weren't such an uptight old prude. He knew that a lot of their friends thought they were such a swinging couple and yet nothing could be further from the truth. Gail doled out her sexual favors sparingly and sure as hell didn't like him looking at other women. The only thing that seemed to hold them together was their love of traveling.
Maybe I'll be able to sneak off and get laid when we get back to Pattaya, he thought to himself. Johnny's bar has some pretty nice girls. I wonder what Steve and Laurel think about all the raunchiness over there? Laurel probably freaked right out when she saw all the girly bars. Anyway, now she's going to have Gail to commiserate with!
Robert signaled the stewardess and ordered a tomato juice for his wife and two double scotch and sodas for himself. Jesus, fifteen hours to go, he thought. I sure hope there's enough scotch on this plane to get me all the way to Thailand!
Gail sipped her tomato juice and studied her husband as she reflected back on their thirty year marriage. He had become crankier over the years and was only truly happy when he was out golfing with his buddies. She knew there were plenty of world class courses around Pattaya and was hoping that Steve played the game. That way she could get rid of Robert and do what she liked to do. All Gail really needed to keep happy was a good harlequin romance novel, an ice cold daiquiri and a swimming pool to cool her off in.
Robert downed his first scotch and picked up the second glass. He was looking forward to seeing Steve again as he felt they had quite a bit in common. Both their wives were ungrateful whiners, quick to complain. Knowing Steve's proclivity for smoking grass he figured he was a bit of a rebel like himself. Robert imagined that Steve would probably be a lot of fun if he could manage to cut him loose from Laurel.
Robert's golf game was really a ruse, affording him the hours of opportunity he needed to get the sex Gail was so unwilling to provide. He thought things probably would have worked out differently if he had only been able to give Gail a child. After a few years of trying to conceive a child with no success her interest in sex had waned, leaving him precious little opportunity for fulfillment. Robert found himself turning more and more to other women to satisfy his urges. Perhaps on this trip he would be able to go carousing with Steve and leave Laurel and Gail alone to bore each other.
Thinking of the long flight ahead, Robert donned his glasses and studied the entertainment guide, praying the movies would not be ones he had already seen.

Two days later, Steve and Laurel were just finishing a late breakfast and preparing to return to their room when they heard a woman's voice calling loudly from across the restaurant.
