Prologue:
Once again I like to remind everyone this is a continuous story presented in multiple parts so I recommend reading at least the preceding chapter (or part). As I explained before, each chapter usually starts where the last left off, but minus any background. Which the lack of could make the narrative difficult to follow, or understand.
As always, comments are welcome as long as they are constructive.

After our long conversation and the tentative plans we made for later in the evening, Janice's mood noticeably improved. As a result we had a blast shopping.
In the early 2000's Tanzanite was the big thing as far a gemstone. And a must have for yours truly. In the end I bought a Tanzanite pendant necklace with matching ear rings. Elaine and Janice also bought Tanzanite jewelry, but both splurged and included a matching bracelet to go along with their necklace and ear rings.
After done with the serious side of shopping we checked out an "adult" store we came across. I know, kind of odd for three middle-aged women, but you can learn a lot about people while browsing through one.
Janice couldn't stay away from the massive collection of vibrators and dildos. Especially anal ones, and strap-ons. What caught both Elaine and my eye was a long pink silicone double-ended dong. We nearly bought it, but would have had to leave it behind since customs typically goes through all your luggage at the end of a cruise. Which could make for an embarrassing moment if a customs agent came across it.
In the end we didn't buy anything, but did act like teenagers the way we looked over everything and discussed what it would be like using some of the unusual paraphernalia we came across. By the time we were through, I had a pretty good inkling Janice was bi-sexual as they come. Although she might not admit it, she most definitely conveyed the message she be interested in lesbian sex. For all I knew, she already had.
After we checked out the adult store we realized it was past time to meet our husbands. We hurried back to the coffee shoppe where we found them patiently waiting.
"Well it's about time!"...barked Walter.
"Sorry we're late, but we got a late start after you left us earlier. Besides...what's the rush?"
"None really, but if we knew you'd be late we could have went for a beer or two. Speaking of which, let's have one before returning to the ship."
Which we did at a small outdoor cafΓ© on a side street. Red Stripe for everyone, albeit I'm not much of a beer drinker.
After we finished our beers we decided to head for the ship to get ready for dinner. This time us girls led the way, which gave our husbands the opportunity to ogle our asses and bare backs during the walk back.
While getting showered and dressed for dinner, Walter casually mentioned what a nice ass Janice had. That's when I took the opportunity to explain about the conversation we had, and the plans we made for later.
"Oh wow! Are you serious?"
"Serious as the day is long. Unless of course Peter is not up to the idea. But I'm sure he will be based on what Janice told us. Janice for sure. We'll know later. Why, aren't you keen on it?"
"I haven't had time to think about it. But my first reaction is I'd be a fool not to be if you ladies are. I'm sure Ron will feel the same way too. Besides, Janice is quite the 'looker'. On the walk back to the ship I was wondering how her bum would look minus the shorts. Now I might find out."
"If Peter's game let's hope it doesn't turn into a disaster. It'll be the first time Peter and Janice swap with another couple. Two couples to boot instead of one as with us and Ron and Elaine. While it worked out beautifully it might not with Peter and Janice. You never know. So keep your fingers crossed."
Finally it was time to head for dinner. We all met at the elevator since our staterooms were all on the same deck. Deck eleven. As we would find out later, Peter and Janice had an Owner's Suite versus our Junior Suites. Courtesy upgrade for them too. Biggest difference is in size. The Owner's Suite, along with the balcony, is twice as large.
Since it was casual attire for dinner us girls were dressed in halter style summer dresses. And all with floral patterns. Mine was dark blue with a pink and white flowers. Short, just above the knees with a deep plunging neckline. No bra of course, which allowed for plenty of cleavage. Elaine and Janice's dresses were similar as far as length and plunging necklines, although not as deep as mine. Elaine's dress had a red background with blue and purple flowers while Janice's was dark green with a light green leaf pattern instead of flowers. Needless to say, Elaine with her big boobs was sharing way more cleavage than yours truly. Since Janice is small busted, not much of her breasts were visible.
We all wore sandals. High heel ones for Elaine and I while Janice's were basically flat. I couldn't help but notice Janice's pretty feet. Size wise they were very small, or petite, and cute as could be. My guess is a size five in spite of being roughly the same height as both Elaine and I. In case you wondering, Elaine and I are size 7-1/2 and 7 respectively. Plus her finger and toes were done in a Kelly green nail polish, which along with her dress helped accentuate her beautiful green eyes.
Walter couldn't help notice Janice's pretty feet also. When he did he said..."Without a doubt you three ladies look lovely this evening and have the prettiest feet of anyone on the cruise. Congrats to all of you from your very grateful and admiring husbands."
During dinner no one mentioned anything about the plans Elaine, Janice and I made for later. Question was if Peter was amicable to the idea, of which Janice was to propose privately. While we didn't know for a fact, it seemed obvious he was from his flirty mood. Plus he couldn't take his eyes off Elaine's cleavage. No doubt all he could think about was getting at her huge boobs later. Both Walter and Ron were also paying more attention to Janice than one would normally expect. Which wasn't unusual when considering either of them, or both, might be having sex with her before the night was over.
Once done with the meal, Elaine, Janice and I excused ourselves to use the restroom. When there I asked Janice if Peter was amicable to swapping partners later. Although I already knew the answer.
"He didn't have to think about it for a nano second before he jumped at the idea. His face lit up like a lantern and he was almost giddy while getting ready for dinner. To put it another way...you couldn't have two people more excited about the opportunity to swap with you. I just hope neither of us disappoints anyone."
"I doubt it since you both seem eager. Besides, we're somewhat inexperienced ourselves. Still novices actually. While I might be wrong, everything will work out just fine once you get past being apprehensive and nervous at first. Truth be known, I'm a little nervous myself, as I'm sure Elaine is too."
