Chapter 34: Guests are arriving
Glasgow International Airport
Friday Morning
NCIS Director Leon Vance and his wife left the chartered airplane followed by his children, his own personal security and SecNav, beside some brass of NCIS. They were saluted by smiling beautiful women in medieval dresses, with small tags on their clothes identifying them as Venetian receptionists.
Flanking the two receptionists, two very mean looking marines with full dress blues saluted them.
After being identified, they were lead by the receptionists to a small counter where a cloth banner in red and gold hanging from a pole was flying in the wind, a B and a M carefully sewed on it with golden thread.
"This is so cool, I feel like I'm in the middle ages." The oldest Vance child said, looking curiously at the people dressed in period costumes.
"I think that was the idea, my dear." Said Jackie, seeing the tight security in the place as their identification was checked and their luggage put into a car to take them to their own suite.
"I can't believe it." Vance said as he saw a Marine escort come down the road riding horses. "They're going all the way."
"It makes me wonder how much money they are spending on all this." SecNav said looking at a Marine grinning at a lady in peasant dress.
"I really don't wanna know."

Glasgow International Airport had never seen that much activity.
Soon chartered airplanes with were standing side by side of private jets on the tarmac, as the guests arrived one after the other. As they unboarded the planes, they were directed by beautiful ladies in medieval dresses to board the transports to the houses which had been separated for them.
Slowly, the guests filled out the base and the murmur of people along with the constant movement of people floated the air. The laugher of children and adults mingled with the talking of people, who after getting settled on their assigned rooms slowly drifted to the main mess hall and gathered around the buffet table, greeting acquantances as waitresses in medieval dresses served them entrees.
The children laughed and ran to a man in a clown clothing, who was making baloon animals and sorting them out for them.
The room was decorated with red and gold banners, as matching the table cloths and the banners hanging from the posts which were spread out around the base and marking the way between the church and the base and the football field where colorful tents were set up.
