Chapter 39.-The Esencia Estate-

Sally could tell that Lightning was still upset about what happed at customs. "Sweetheart, please" She said sweetly "Just let it go." "I'm trying" Lightning said. "Do you have your carry on, I don't." Sally said, just then Lightning remembered that he didn't take it off the plane when they got off. "This is just great" Lightning said and starting to get mad again. "Stickers, it's not that bad" Sally said "We need to find a ticket counter and explain what has happed, and we can get your bag back." They found a ticket counter and got in line. When the agent called them up to the counter, he immediately recognized Lightning. "Mr. McQueen" He said "What can I do for you?" "I was so excited to get here, that I forgot to take my carry on out of the over hood bin" Lightning said. "Can I go back and get it, please?" "Regulations won't allow you back on the plane." The ticket agent said. "But, I can call a supervisor and he can get it for you. Please just wait here while call him."

Ten minutes later: a car approached them "Mr. and Mrs. Lightning McQueen?" "I'm Alejandro, a supervisor" He said. "My ticket agent said that you left your carry on the plane?" "Yes" Lightning growled "We are on our honeymoon and I was excited to be here I forgot about it. We had an issue with customs and ended up spending sometime with them." "Well then welcome to Mexico and congratulations on your marriage" Alejandro said. "We're happy that you're here. Where did you fly in from?" "L.A." He said "That's were we got married." Lightning's broken axle suddenly gave a nasty throb and he winced. "Mr. McQueen are you all right?" Alejandro asked "No, I have a broken axle and pain is starting to flare up." "That's right you broke it earlier in the year and then re-broke it the championship race" Alejandro said. Lightning gaped at him "Ok, I'll admit, I'm a fan of yours not a rabid fan, but a fan any way. If you want to take a seat, I'll get your luggage for you. Can I offer you something to drink while you wait?" "Sure" Sally said. "I'm a little thirsty." "Coffee, tea, Coke, Pepsi, water?" Alejandro asked "Coke will be fine" Sally said. Alejandro turned to Lightning. "A Coke will be fine for me to." Alejandro directed one of the ticket agents to get them something to drink while he got Lightning's luggage.

Lightning seemed to calm down as he sipped on his drink. Sally went outside to talk to their transport and explain what was going on. Sally headed back inside to wait with her husband. She returned a few moments before Alejandro. "Well I have some good news and some bad news." He said. Sally put her tire to Lightning's lips before he could get angry again. "We're listening" She said sternly. "The good news is that we have found your bag and it safe and sound." Alejandro said "The bad news is that it is still on the plane. The plane is making his return trip to L.A.; he left about an hour ago." Lightning pulled Sally's tire away from his lips. "Are you kidding me!" Lightning said a little louder that he should have. Most of the cars around them turned and look at him. "Light relax, this is our fault" Sally said. "We were the ones that left the bag on the plane. When can we get our bag back?" "Unfortunately, that was the last flight for today" Alejandro said. "The next fight won't leave L.A. until tomorrow morning. Where are you staying. We can bring the bag to your hotel." "The Esencia" Lightning said "What time tomorrow?" "The plane is expected to leave L.A. at six thirty. So it will be middle of the morning before he gets here" Alejandro said "And by the time we drive it out to you, it will be late in the morning when you get it. I'm afraid that is the best thing I can offer you. I'm so sorry Mr. McQueen." Lightning sighed unhappily "I understand, you done your best" Lightning said. "Thank you for all your hard work. If you like, you want a picture with me." "I would love that Mr. McQueen" Alejandro said. Some ticket agents took Alejandro's phone and took pictures with Lightning and Sally. When they were done Lightning and Sally boarded the transport. "Sorry about the delay." Lightning said as he climbed aboard" "It's not a problem Mr. McQueen" he said "This kind of thing happens all the time, sit back and enjoy the ride. The traffic will be light at this time of day, so we should be at the estate in about an hour."

Lightning and Sally finally arrived at the Esencia. Esencia is a 50 acre semi-private estate, very excusive with only 23 rooms and 7 suites. It was after to dinner and they were immediately offered welcoming margarita. The hotel's concierge, Manuel, led them to their suite. "This is a still-undiscovered paradise. The waves are gentle and sunset cocktails are the only commitment of the day." He said "The eternal spring-like weather is perfect for enjoying a wide range of outdoor activities, we even have a small racetrack. Here we are this is your suite, Ocean View Master Suite." He opened the door and Lightning and Sally's jaw nearly hit the floor. They followed Manuel unto the suite. "The first thing you'll notice is the main room with a domed brick Catalan ceiling. This was the home of the Italian duchess, who originally owned the estate. It offers spacious ocean-views, flat-screen TVs, a drive-in closet, luxurious shower room, formal gardens and vast expanses of unspoiled natural beauty viewed from your enormous terrace. You have the daily breakfast in bed option, when do you want it delivered to you each morning?" "I'm not sure" Lightning said. "I plan on sleeping in tomorrow, can we call when we are ready for it?" "Sure, breakfast is only served till ten" Manuel said "If you call after that, it will be lunch items. I'll let you get settled, if you need anything just call the front desk and we'll bring it to you. Dinner will be served for another hour. Do you have any questions before I leave?" "I do have one question for you" Lightning said as he looked at the ocean. "How private is our private beach? Let's say, I wanted to swim naked in the ocean, can I?" "Your beach is very private" Manuel said. "We take our guest's privacy very seriously. As for swimming, yes you can but I would recommend you staying close to shore. The currents get stronger the farther out you go. Goodnight Mr. and Mrs. McQueen." Lightning offered a tip to Manuel "I'm flattered Mr. McQueen but tipping is not allowed by the estate." Manuel left the suite.

Lightning and Sally explored the suite. The master bedroom has breath-taking views over the ocean, along with a giant bed, currently covered in rose petals. There was a tropical fruit plate along with chilled bottle of sparkling wine sitting on the table by the bed. They even have their own full-sized swimming pool, jacuzzi, multimedia room, a fully stocked bar, and the beach had hammocks strung between palm-trees. Sally spent the next half an hour exploring their beach and gardens. When Sally was out exploring, Lightning opened her carry on. To his surprise he had put his 'special items' that he had hotel in L.A. get for him in Sally's carry on by mistake. Lightning was happy that tonight will go as he has planned. He went into the bedroom and put the 'special items' under the bed for later. "I had a feeling that this suite was going to be over the top." Sally said coming back in from the gardens. "Skye doesn't do anything half way." "She never has" Lightning said. "Besides, I think mom and dad feel a bit guilty about how they treated me all these years." "Yeah, they have really become humble" Sally said. "This was worth the problems we had in getting here" Lightning said "I'm hungry. Are you ready for something to eat?" "Yes, I think I'm as hungry as you. We can go and get something to eat." Sally said "Then we can come back and enjoy our first night together as husband and wife." Lightning smiled broadly knowing what she was talking about.
