We are finally back, unpacked and settled back into reality after our AWESOME post-christmas trip to Spain. The weather was phenomenal, with 20-23C (68-72F) temperatures, sunny skies and mild winds the entire 5 days!! Although it was a working vacation, we had plenty of ”couple” time, and really enjoyed just sitting by the coast, shopping (Did I mention that I finally found/bought a beautiful new pair of Red stilettos?), having a few (or more) drinks and enjoying our time together.
Besides all the sun and fun, we did manage to complete a little business for the World Spanking Party 2012. We met with Mark, our events coordinator, and Mark and Noell, our caterers to go over the food and logistics of behind the scenes stuff for the party. So we have now confirmed the Flamenco Dancers and Spanish Guitar player and have the wine and sangria ordered for the Friday and Saturday dinners. We should have the final menus posted soon!!
Then to make the weekend plans EVEN BETTER, our friends Emma and Polo, owners of Once Upon a Time, agreed to close their restaurant Thursday nite so that we could have a private party, meet and greet for our spanko friends. They were so excited about the party that every time we went in to eat (which was practically everyday), they would bring out little platters of food/desserts for us to try. We are quite sure their final menu will be DELICIOUSLY WONDERFUL!!
Most nights, before retiring for the evening (well it was usually 3am, but…..) we’d stop by our favourite bar, The Buddha Bar. Jaan de Kappa is the friendly owner/bartender. The place is filled with atmosphere with the walls and bar decorated with Elvis and Buddhas…. It’s a small, warm place, tucked away on a side road off the main street area (but right around the corner from Once Upon a Time). Every time we go, the bar is full of people of every nationality. We all enjoy drinking and trying to talk to each other is some common language (or combination of languages). We have met people from Russia, Italy, Spain, UK, and the US there. We love the place so much and enjoy Jaan’s and his drinks (he pours a HEAVY drink…. 
), that we asked him to run a bar at our party villa. We are Thrilled that he agreed to run a bar on Friday and Saturday nite at the party villa.

And another awesome thing…..when we told them what type of party it was, they didn’t even bat an eye!! Let me tell you, after our meetings We are SOOOOO EXCITED all over again!!
We also spent some time in Benalmedena city center, just to enjoy the local area away from the beach. While we were there they were celebrating Three Kings Day, so the city was still decorated. Apparently, Spain is known for its fiestas; it’s said that there is some sort of fiesta in some city/village in Spain every day of the year!! They are certainly friendly, laid-back people, so maybe partying IS good for you!!
As our trip was winding down, we enjoyed a couple of wonderful views and sunsets. Palm 5 is another wonderful little restaurant/bar right on the beach and has a stunning view of the sea. We enjoyed watching the birds flying on/off the rocks and listening to the waves…
We were sad when we had to leave, but it was a fun and productive trip. We can’t wait to share it with all of you when you come to the party. For all the latest information about registration and updates on all the spanking fun activities during the weekend, check out our website often. Registration opened Thursday, and we are excited that we have already accepted 60 reservations!!!
SUN, SANGRIA AND SPANKING IN SPAIN is the perfect phrase for our World Spanking Party. Hope to see you there!!
