Prologue: "NWMD!" identifies this as a part of the "Not With My Daughter!" series of adventures befalling Marnie, her friends and family. Each stand-alone part derives from the initial story where a man named Larcher under the threat of unleashing his son on Marnie's daughter, Brenda, blackmails and humiliates Marnie. This is a part that would pass the age submission guideline. If you want to read these in the order that I wrote them, feel free to contact me or visit my site. Others to follow. Please enjoy.

“Oooo Marnie, this is so exciting. The trials and tribulations we went through to get this trip suddenly seem worth it, don’t they?.” Barbara said, waiting for their chance to board the flight to Orly.
“Don’t remind me. Let’s put all of that behind us and make new memories that will overpower the memories of the past.” Marnie countered.
“I’m with that.” Barbara agreed. “Look at our two guys, Marnie wave. Do you think they’ll do okay without us for a week?”
“Roger’s a trooper. With the meals I put up in the freezer, he has no excuses, as long as Brenda doesn’t run roughshod over him.
“My George is the same way. Our daughters sure have them wrapped around their little fingers, don’t they.” Barbara added.
As they inched along the enclosed gangway to the plane Marnie warned, “I hope you don’t expect much conversation from me on the flight, I’m going to do what we used to tell Brenda to do on trips, that is sleep as much as possible to make the trip seem shorter.”
“That’s not a bad idea. It is a long trip and we have the time zone changes. Let’s both try to rest as much as possible so we’ll have the strength to party along the Mediterranean when we get there.” Barbara agreed. “This seems like a spirited group, I hope they plan to settle down once the plane is under way.” Barbara observed of the regular members of the group chartering the plane, who were boisterous and physically animated.
Marnie and Barbara’s seats were in the middle of the bulkhead. They had nothing to look at but a pattern of the airline’s colors in a fifties art style. The plane was a wide body with two isles. They pulled seats in the middle two of six seats across, and looked longingly at the paired seats along the windows, as they knelt on their seats and looked back at the large plane.
“Oh Ma’am,” Marnie was saying, to get a flight attendant’s attention, “Is this going to be a full flight?”
“Yes Ma’am, I sorry it is. You can look at it this way though, you have the best two seats for the movie screen in this section.”
Marnie and Barbara sat back into their seats and put their belts on. “It’s okay Marnie, we’ll be sleeping right?” Barbara said, consoling.
They ended up being bracketed by well-tanned friendly couples on either side of them. Each couple on their out side, was so eager to make conversation with them, so that for the first fifteen minutes after taking off Marnie and Barbara barely even looked at each other. About twenty minutes into the flight Marnie and Barbara excused themselves, so they could talk together. Just as they decided to try to sleep, the flight attendants were in the aisles passing out packages for all of the charter passengers. Marnie pointed out that they weren’t part of the group, but the flight attendant said that they had paid for their seat, so they were entitled. They looked at the sealed package, and saw the “Sun Tours International” logo, looked to their sides and saw their neighbors starting to doze, and smiled at each other as they closed their eyes to sleep.
Marnie was awakened by the flight attendant asking the couple in the window row to the left for beverage requests. The flight attendant had changed from the airline uniform into a colorful bikini top and matching wraparound skirt ensemble, giving her a tropical island girl look. Then another attendant appeared similarly dressed but in different colors on the other aisle.
Marnie elbowed Barbara awake to ask, “Hey Barb, do you want something to drink?”
“Oh hi, I guess so. What are you having?” Barbara asked.
“The tray is filled with mixed drinks with umbrellas.” Marnie observed out loud. “This is an unusual flight.” She said to Barbara, then to the attendant, she responded, “I guess I’ll have what everyone else is having.”
“Me too.” Added Barbara.
“Ummm, Pina Coladas.”
They talked for about fifteen minutes about what they planned to do for fun and relaxation on the trip until an announcement was heard for people to close the shades for a movie. The movie started and it was obviously an old movie from the fifties or so, called “Penelope’s First Time”. Marnie and Barbara looked at each other quizzically in unison as the poorly restored movie started its run.
It was about a young woman’s awakening to the healthful benefits of nudism. The passengers were laughing uproariously, but Marnie and Barbara stared at the screen eyes wide, mouths open, incredulously. The couple to Marnie’s left nudged her to see if she was enjoying the outdated movie as much as they were. Marnie smiled politely, and went back to feeling like she had taken the flight to the Twilight Zone.
There were a couple of more movies in a similar vain, “Ways to Health and Beauty” and “Elysia”. Between runs, the flight attendants passed out more drinks and seemed to be amused with their unique assignment for this group. By the second and third movies, the passengers were, by and large, not listening to the dialog through the headphones, but rather talking and partying with the movie as a back drop to their festivities.
When the movies were done, the lights went back up. People were up and milling. The couples to either side of the two women were standing, opening their souvenir packages from Sun Tours International, and taking out what looked to be a small fitted sheet. They were putting it on over their seat, like a cover for a car seat. Marnie and Barbara thought this odd, but odder still, the people on either side of them began taking off their clothes as well.
“Oh no, now I know I’m on the flight to the Twilight Zone.” Marnie thought to herself.
“Marnie, what’s happening?” Barbara insisted, holding on to Marnie’s upper arm.
“Looks to me like you booked us on some kind of a nudist flight, given the movies and this.” Marnie responded.
“Marnie, what are we going to do?” Barbara said with a note of panic in her voice.
“I don’t know for sure, but I’ve been to a nudist beach before, and one thing I know is, if we are the only ones with clothes on, we are going to feel just as out of it as if we were the only ones without clothes.”
“You went to a nudist beach?” Barbara said, not quite believing her ears. “Where, when, . . .?” She continued, as a respite from dealing with the current dilemma.
“That’s not important now. I think we should take some clothes off.” Marnie suggested. “Then she turned to the neighbor on her left to be sure, “Excuse me, but could you tell us what is going on right now?”
“Haven’t you been on an STI tour before?” She asked, not expecting an answer, “They present the finest in healthy and natural touring.”
“Oh gawd, I thought that they meant organic meals and mineral water instead of regular airplane cuisine by that.” Barbara muttered under her breath.
“What’s that?” Marnie asked.
“Oh nothing.” Barbara responded. Then she asked the lady next to Marnie, “Does this mean that we have to go nude on this flight?”
